Long story short, I have a 3800 camaro, that I swapped a gen v on to, due to other unfortunate circumstances, its getting a new engine...
I got a full drop out L67 with about 150k miles (ish, owner wasn't sure, was running and driving in very good shape with no leaks)
Since the motor is out of the car I am going to cam it.
Already planning on doing all the gaskets, lim, rear cover, front/rear main, water pump, front cover etc. and was going to at least put a stock chain in for peace of mind. It currently has 105s and steel retainers. I beleive they are not the modified ones, but not sure.
I want the most power I can get with the stock heads (I might do some DIY porting/polishing), most likely E85 or meth/water (or both) and no Intercooler. Due to the cowl restrictions it will/would be near impossible to even get a short stack IC on the car.
I'd like to keep the 105's, planned on doing a JP single timing set for the cam.
Main contenders- NIC (non intercooled, seems like a good idea... right?) XP.. S1x..
Also thoughts on stock lifters and pushrods with any of these.
..... And.. GO!
EDIT: I don't care about gas milage/ streetability/ ETC. Its not a daily driver. I just wanna make v8 camaros look silly.
