Are you looking to run pump gas or race gas? Stick or Auto? If a stick do you have an upgraded clutch? Like I said, over power me with info and I can tell you exactly what you need sir! Thanks. -Chris

Pump gas. This is my daily driver. Or at least a car that I put 22k miles per year on.
6L80E that is still stock and has shown faint signs of fatigue. haha But I think still good for now.
When you say spec me out a cam I assume that will include the proper length pushrods. Or would I need to measure later? I'll be using the stock heads. Might so a valve job to complete the rebuild but money is cetainly an object here. haha

I looked it up but for some reason I want to say these are new specs! Seems like the older ones ran a 115+3! But not totally sure!

Whatever they ran a few years ago.

Dont' have the cam right now. Left it at the office but it says on the back.

He is a L99 that had what Vengenace called a LS3 conversion. I know it is his daily driver so probably pump gas.

Not beyond a bad idea since I am on a budget. But I don't know anyone here in Mobile that could do the hone.

10.8:1? how much boost are you running? more importantly, what kind of gas are you using?
even though Ohio is only 1000+ ft higher in elevation, you gotta remember Mobile is at sea level (think really dense air). when you start throwing 9-10psi of boost at it, i wouldn't trust pump 93 to do the job.

Just so the cr is low enough to get more power with the same boost level yet still ok to run it NA if I wanted to sell it and keep the blower.

you've got so many stories packed into these past 3 yrs about how "the car's doing this", "the car did that", "the car broke my ____"...
i hate that i ain't been able to be more help, even the times i came over to take stuff apart or reinstall.
hopefully i don't have to go this route for my forged stroker... i'm already on this road towards a build TR6060 swap. ever since Road Atlanta, trans fluid has been slowly migrating from the inside of the case to my garage floor  |
I hear ya. I appreciate it.
Me and this car have been through a lot. I've kind of stuffed all those years not owning one into a short period of time. hahaha
My tranny is on borrowed time. I never thought it would be my engine before the transmission. I have been going through my head wondering if it was something that I did. Maybe over reving that time is what did it. I guess I will never know. I do know it really sux.
I sure would have had you over helping. haha, but no sweat at all. You have no choice. And you were there for me when I needed.

I think I mentioned it in the other thread but good input.
Bigger injectors and a fuel pump upgrade are a must. Especially if I end up with more cubes.
