01f1502wd's build thread: project Stormtrooper

what exactly are they for? what do they do?

 

Don't get those if you are planning on the supercharger. They don't work together, at least from what I've read.

 

well damn. I still need cams and fuel pumps and plugs. then i have to have it all installed and tuned. might look into upgrading my heads too so they will handle the power. what do you think Justin? might be able to get some L heads...

 

Lightning heads are the same I'm pretty sure. I think the only difference is the pistons and forged crank in the L engine internals. What are you going to go with for fuel pumps and cams? I would say get your fuel system in place and then the supercharger and get it tuned. Then decide on cams and get it retuned. Not sure what cams would provide correct compression for the supercharger tho. Might need to get twinskrewd to chime in on this

 

WHy play with that stock crap? Get some real heads lol

 

^that are way out of my price range.

I have L pistons n rods and crank. for fuel i was gonna run 2 255 Lph walbros (I can get some from lil dq) and cams:

COMP Cams: Xtreme Energy™, XE270AH <BR> Excellent Torque, Better Low & Mid-Range Torque w/ Power

and I was gonna do it all at once. might look into some better head stuff then if theyre just about the same.

 

What aftermarket heads are out there? I would say P/P the stockers provided you have the PI heads which I'm pretty sure you do

 

Are you building a whole new block? Or rebuilding your current one?

 

ight. what about the internals? are there any better springs or anything i might need to get?

and do you know how much a stock block can handle hp wise? my tranny is built for 600..

 

rebuilding my stock...unless I can find a cheapish long block from an L, then ill sell everything I got and go for a KB L engine
