actually, kenny is in the process of scaring little children, and quieting the alternator.

no more blower for me, i just pulled the engine out yesterday. you guys should really do it my way...2 hours to take the engine out of the car...hand tools, in my driveway, by myself. some really tall 6ton jack stands, and an engine hoist to lift the car up over the engine, and then a roller motorcycle jack to roll the engine out from underneath. of course i didnt do it that way this time...i got the intake manifold off and was like "you know what kenny...you need a solid roller" and i am now doing it. its going to be very streetable, tiny ass setup. cam is only like 242/248 on a 110. almost pointless to go solid roller with that. mm but fuck this bitch will grunt hehehehe. for some reason people think 450+ is impossible for a h/c LT1...this will just prove, math is power. and power is pontiac.

save the money on porting the heads for the time being if you have to, but they are a good investment.

get a decent cam, with not so aggressive ramp rates, and the valvetrain for it. personally, for a hyrdraulic setup, @ .05" i would go along the lines of 230/234 .560/.560 on a 111LSA and a 108IC


if you really wanna get radical, like 425+ just with heads/cam, PM me.


intake, mandatory to port match to heads IMO (bout 350 to port i would say)
long tube headers...
valvetrain = springs, locks, retainers, pushrods, lifters, valve, valve seat, etc. VALVETRAIN GEOMETRY IS CRITICAL. if you go this route, i would suggest buying an adjustable pushrod measuring instrument, that way you can get the appropriate pushrod length.
