    Why is the LS1 so much better than a 351W?

    if it takes 1600 to get your WS6 moving.. you need practice driving a manual transmission.. like 1k or 1100rpm to get it going from a stop light w/o a studder is all that was needed for me.. now my 5.0 with 3.73's you could take right off of idle.. Cliffnotes: LS1's are fast...

    afr 185s or 205s for my 331?

    question concerning the block.. and "having" to go to solid roller I guess threw me off.. did not know you had engine experience.. just going from what I saw in the thread.. throw the 205's on there but spend the money on the cam.. quote I've heard and seen in use many of times "no...

    afr 185s or 205s for my 331?

    if you have to ask questions like you have been in this thread.. I dont think youre up for the task of building a 331 like this just yet.. research more and get a bit more knowledge.. you'll feel alot more comfortable throwing your money around. or spend the money and send it out and go...

    mods and possible times

    I completely bypassed the smog.. and there is no assembly for it.. car has a little bit of weight reduction.. cowl hood.. etc small things.. I'm sure 13's are in reach.. I can get it off the line and shift well .. guy who owned the car before me told me it made 223rwhp..

    3.73's that much different than 4.10's?

    I'm in this same dilemma.. I can pick up 4.10's but I actually think it will be slower.. idk... I'm torn between 4.10's and 3.73's myself.. I never do highway driving and the fastest this car will be is probably 60mph consistently.. but I dont want to run out of gear in a normal...

    help with cam selection

    alright I came off wrong... I personally do not like the cam.. it will not go into any of my cars.. and I did not read the post w/ passing emissions.. its a dog downlow.. I've driven many cars with it, but I do believe that it would make more power and the car would beneift with it rather...

    help with cam selection

    michael yount - for the longest time I've heard your trash the E cam.. yes we know it didnt work well for your setup and its an old outdated cam.. but just give it a break.. its better then a stock cam in that combo regardless.. its like the E cam is having an affair with your wife or...

    Finally ran the new 347 combo at the track

    depending on what power your putting down.. I'd want a hell of a lot more then a 115trap.. a 347 built right with some money put into it should be trapping 120+ all day.. atleast thats where I'd want my car with that kinda money invested..

    Any other suggestions for my plans...

    look into doing an X pipe :p not for power reasons.. IMO they sound a ****load better.. the lower being ported is a good move.. IMO idk I'm in a rush right now.. I'll get back to the thread in a bit :SNSign:

    Let's get a discussion on what is a better means to show potential: Dyno or Track?

    potential in which way? if I were to run on the street with somebody and wanted to know how I would do.. I'd be more interested in there trapspeed then anything to know the potential of somebodys car.
