So here is my plan, any thoughts or possible problems you can think of let me know. i just got another head with 17k on it. I'm sending those cams in as cores and have the 2.4 cams ordered. Also i'm going to pick up springs and retainers. Not sure about valves anyone have thought on if i should upgrade or not. In the next couple weeks i should have the head to a machinist to clean it up and tear the old stuff off. Another ?? is p&p, i've herd i should and then i shouldn't. I'm planning to stay NA so do i really want it ported out more or can they do just a polish? Not sure whats the best for me. The only other ? i have is what head gasket fits our cars, same as 2.0 or 2.2 ?? And i know if you want to run NA higher compression is better anyone know of a thinner head gasket to up the compression, i know hahn makes one that will lower compression for F/I.

So by spring my plan is to have it built, get pnp 60's, wideband so i can tune, header and dp.

Anything i'm missing??
Thanks for input

 

60s n/a? overkill. get ss/sc injectors if you really go nuts. otherwise stock will be fine.

 

you think, i read that stock injectors are ok with full bolt ons but with any other work you would need to go larger, and i just figured pnp 60's would be easier to tune with because with s/c's you need a tune for i'm pretty sure, as with the 60's one less thing you need to worry about tuning around.

 

boost ftw

 

If you don't have boost I'd say just get stock SS/SC injectors. Screw the 60's. Your injector IDC might be to low with them anyways.

 

bump- any thoughts on port n polish??

 

port match and make sure the intake side isn't totally smooth for atomization and a better boom.. i'd go with the stock ss/sc injectors at the very most 42 lb injectors the impedence will be way to low with 60s

what cams are you getting

 

jbp cams. not sure what springs and retainers, and still not sure if I should upgrade the valves.

 

what you want your rev limiter to be?valves can start floating over 7k from what i understand

 

yeah, i thought float was because the spring couldn't keep up, thats y i'm upgrading the springs. I wasn't gonna go to much higher but a limit of like 7500 isn't impossible correct me if i'm wrong. I'm new to this thats y i made this forum to help me out in deciding what i want to do.

 

I remember hearing something about Neutral balance shafts after a certain RPM. I'm not sure if we already have them and they need to be upgraded for a higher rev limit, or if they need to be added for the higher revs to make sure something doesn't explode. If these are a must, can someone please explain the concept? I was curious as well.

 

You need to remove them if you plan to go past a certain RPM. I want to say that number was around 7500-8000.

 

gm build book says over 7500 if i remember correctly

 

bump, anyone else have any thoughts on this whole build??? ideas or suggestions?

 

yea heres an idea....dont buy anything from JBP...

just because they make it doesnt mean its good...do some research

 

If you want 2.4 cams you have no other choice.

 

i read the few that did buy and then post after wards loved them, besides for one guy that had problems with the install or something like that.

 

yea so buy them just for the hell of it? just because they exist?? dont be stupid.

but hey...whatever guys...its your money in the end

 

No one has had a bad experience except the one guy who tried to install them himself. Everyone else loves them. Where's the issue?

 

its probably cuz your all ugly......i mean thats just me tho!




p.s. your also all ridiculously stupid. yea, thats about it

 

This is the only thing i can chime in on. You have to use the 2.4 head gasket. The 2.0 and 2.2 both have smallers bores than the 2.4.

 

actually i think there's a guy called edubs on here that got them in his sssc and they wernt anything to hoot about... not sure if he's resolved that issue

oh and another i guy i know locally named ed.. on here he's called player1 i havent seen him in a while but i bet his car stil doesnt make much power

 

no cams are anything to hoot about...lol. Area47 made more power on stock cams with adjustable gears than he did with any of the cams he bought.

 

You can not compare the LE5 to the LSJ two differnt setup's

Apple's to oranges

 

Interesting.
