TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK I NEED YOUR FEERBACK!!!!!!

sounds like a good mild build. Ditch the high volume oil pump, all it does is robs horsepower.

COULD I go to a better intake and throttle body for more horsepower . I HAVE ABOUT $700.00 left could I do it should i do it . If so please let me know the right one to get please.

WHY ARE YOU RUNNING A FLAT TAPPET CAM IN A ROLLER BLOCK!?!?!!?

Good god man, get a roller cam!

I think a flat tappet cam is what came out of it i think.

 

[firestone]

Have you already bought the parts? If so, then I agree that a roller cam would be a good idea. If you have not already bought the parts, I have some other ideas. another idea is gears and posi if you dont already have them.

Yes the parts are in the truck and it is running. I have 456 gears and a locker

 

[Siggy_Freud]

Being that its a 90 block it should have provisions for a roller cam (without having to retrofit). If this is the case, go with a roller cam. They are more expensive and require more expensive lifters, but the technology is way ahead of the flat tappet design. Less cam wear, no cam breakin worries compared to a flat tappet design, and I believe they allow higher lift due to their design and the design of the lifters.

With a torque making 383 and 456's you could get away with a cam in the 292 range to make more upper rpm power and not lose a signifigant amount of low end

High volume oil pump..

Definetly get rid of the high vol pump..Will suck the pan dry and potentially burn up your engine..

 

[NAIRB]

Not a bad setup for a TBI engine. I would have ditched the TBI heads for something else, but since you've already got them, they'll work okay.

Not all of the FI blocks are roller cam blocks. Some have the provision, and some don't.

Anyway, with the stock TBI system, you aren't gonna make much over 300 ponies anyway.

 

[383MontecarloSS]

That cam with those heads on a TBI system will not run very well at all. I doubt the stock TBI system will supply enough fuel for that cam and those heads will choke the cam down.
