Hey guys,thanks for the tips/advice. I really had emissions in mind when the package was originally done, but since I haven't passed anyways...barely, I really would like to get a bit more performance with whichever combo I decide.
I'm starting to get a little blowby so it looks like the motor has to come out. I am considering a stroker to keep the car a little more tame on the street. I don't want to have to overstall it in order to keep up with a bigger cam in a smaller cube motor. I hope that the new combo will work well with the 3200 stall I currently have.
As you guys have suggested, the heads would be a good place to start. There are more lt1 porters out there now and I'm sure vast improvements have been made with the lt1 head since I had mine done. I really can't complain much with how well the car has run for the past few years but now it looks like it may be time to turn to something else.
I know it would probably be easier to go faster with an ls1, but I love my old school small block and the way it sounds and feels.

Oh not sure where I thought I read that. Regardless, I think we can honestly say your cam is a true custom grind, lol. Obviously a well thought out combo.

Airy at all?...There's a cruise in thing up there on Saturday night from 6pm on...I'm planning on being there and I could give you my cam card to look at...

I don't really hang out up Mt. Airy but I would be willing to come through if it's a nice place to hang.
When will you make it back to the track?
