Seriously,

Rodger can you call that bad ass engine builder of yours and ask what kind of money I'm looking at for changing those three parts.

Remember, the guys that built my engine said it would hold up no problem but they didn't know I was adding a procharger to the mix.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure what the compression with the custom cam I have installed. The cam I used it was apecified by the guys at AFR and Comp Cams.

Engine work reminds me of fabrication.... it always takes a long time to get the parst and install them.
If we need to swap parts maybe we should rush the engine over to them as soon as the procharger brackets are completed.

If that motor, including cam, was spec'd for N/A, then I doubt that is an appropriate cam profile to be run with a supercharger. You probably want to look into that as well.

And your compression must be on the high side I would think, also necessitating the need for forged/lower-compression pistons?

I decided to make the changes and avoid catastrophic failure later.

Sounds like the safe way to go, Rich.

Do you have the cam specs?

Rodger??? There was no insult meant I honestly just wanted to see the finished product. I have to tell you I totally understand where you are coming from. I am nowhere in your category but am a backyard builder who likes challenging builds.

I do not think most understand the difference between a well built bolt together ride and a one off piece. Every part modified or made requires thought and about 10 more items that are effected by that one change. Problem is 90% of the people never see that detail and look at a Camaro with bolt on parts as one in the same. I do sheet metal work and all those tubes have to be days in thought to trim with finish metal.

Money plays a big role and I can appreciate both types. Takes those well funded builds to get you somewhere in this Industry. Look forward to seeing your future builds.
