Subject: Re: whats the best intake for a basicly stock l98 by dan0617 on 2012/2/26 16:37:53 I have a modified holley stealth ram, originally I put it on with a 224/230 cam, reworked stock heads, headers and dual exhaust. If I were to do what you are doing, I'd buy an LT1 intake already coverted. Will only cost a few hundred used, and a hundred or 2 in supporting parts if they aren't included (fuel rails, thermostat housing, etc.) Go with 1.6 roller rockers. Scorpions are good for the price. Just remember they are self aligning, unless you are putting real guideplates and hardened pushrods in also. You need narrow body rockers. Don't forget to remove the drip tabs from the inside of the valve covers! Easy to do but will cause carnage if you forget. Don't forget the tune will need tweaked. Have him buy a Moates burn 2, download TunerproRT, get the G1 adapter, a datalogging cable, and a few chips. Won't cost alot, and he can tweak and tune and enjoy doing it, and have the ability to continue to change as he adds mods to the car. Wideband setup is worth it's weight in gold but likely not needed for this power level. LT1 intake with headers, exhaust and roller rockers will give that car a very nice power bump. IF changing the cam I'd go with a hotcam. Doesn't sound like he is wanting to go that far yet though. IF heads are coming off I'd invest in a set of AFR 195 elims. This is where to spend the money if money is going to be spent. Save on other items, spend on the heads. |
