quite a few things on my mind im trying to get sorted out
first off...what to do with my/my gf's 85 iroc,ill fill you in on the plans already set..
its going to be house of kolors black and blue mettalic {kind of a DARK dark purply black/blue depdning on light} will have silver gfx most likely with silver painted zr1 wheels.
cant figure out what to do with the motor yet,she has the LB9 305 215 hp and 275 tq,motor runs GREAT,but its a tad on the docile side,and kim wants to be able to go racing with me this race season and whoop up o nthe ricers,so shes gonna need a tad more.
my question is,should i just mod the existing 305? or throw the 400 i have in it with a stealthram since Joe is taking the TPI. or should i just carb the 305 or the 400? maybe build a 350? i dunno i have a boatload of stuff to work with so pretty much any motor combination is possible,give me thoughts ideas opinions or whatever.
btw,drivetrain will consist of 3.73 posi disc with 700r4 and stall depending on whats done for a powerplant. |

What kinda racing? Draaaaag racing, or twisty type stuff? 
I'm gonna guess drag racing, since you mentioned stall and you are a redneck.
Anyways.. ditch the Tree O' Five... she'll get bit by the bug and want to go faster and it'll just hold her back in the long run. I dunno why, but I think a nice solid built 355 with a Holley Pro-Injection would be killer. 
Something programmable with good all around torque and horsepower, and not something you see everyday....

go witht he dry TBI setup.
have you thought about a blower? a little weiand would really wake things up, just do a 350, with forged slugs. pretty good setup for about 500hp. |

i thought about a little weiand or b&m 144 or 177,but the 177 i had a year or so back would have needed a BIG cowl on the black t/a i had..
the cmaro would probably need a 4 inch or MORE to fit all this under a hood  and i know kim would complain about a big ole cowl ,she complains about the factory 84 cowl hood on my t/a as it is 
so blower is probably out of the question, i have a set of used vortec heads i could use for it,bleh i dunno,btw the budget is around 3-3500 for the motor and trans rebuild which is gonna take up about 600 of it. |
