Lito,
Everyone I've talked to swears by you. I have yet to hear one negative thing. With that said, if you'd like a new customer...I'd like to hire you to take care of my tuning needs.
You're a bit lucky as I'm still building my motor. Although I have final say what gets done, I'm going to rely HEAVILY on your suggestions. I've not yet done anything regarding cams, heads or fuel system. Let me give you a rundown of what I have and what I want it to do.
BOSS 5.0 Iron Block
Kellogg Crank
Oliver Rods
Diamond 10:1 Pistons
ARP Fasteners
GT500 Oil Pump w/TSS Billet Gears
FRPP Lifter/Follower Kit
Phasers w/Lockouts installed
ID1000 Injectors
Whipple 2.3 w/Dual Belt Setup
SCJ Throttle Body
Kook's LT Headers w/OR H-Pipe
Trans is 3650 and I'll be installing McLeod RST Clutch & Flywheel.
I want to run E85 and have the ability to run pump fuel if I can't find E85.
I have a race engine builder that's wanting to do my head work...but I'm not sure what all needs to be done to the heads. Larger valves, bronze guides, heavier springs, unshrouding the valves and of course porting/polishing. After he finishes he wants to put the heads on a flow bench and order a custom cam using those numbers. What are your thoughts on this? Am I missing anything? Is that too much work/money for any gains I'll see?
With the head work & custom cams, if I can't get 800 to the rear wheel...I see no need in going that extreme. The previous owner of the Whipple was getting 725 at the wheel on stock heads and E85...and he said his cam were mediocre.
The input I need from you right now would be on my heads/cams. If I'm going to have him do the work, I need to get them to him ASAP.
What's your thoughts?
Thanks!
Chris
