yes it will ... but think. What if you cant get this to work and you spend all this time ****ing with it and then spent all that extra money on mods for something you cant make work ...

Im sure it will work. But if you run into problems that u need extra money to fix, you'll have it if you hold off on modding first.

Not as easy
Not as cheap

But you will be sure its all gonna work right

Okay so an update is looooong overdue sorry.. Ive been busy to the teeth getting started with my apprenticeship to union ironwork... I dont have my phone cord with me so ill have to add my pictures later.. i have more to take anyway...

I acquired a high lift cam from a friend and fellow MM member.. another fellow friend and member has yet to recieve but has agreed to port and polish my SC heads for me.. yet another member has actually given me a set of long tube headers by pacesetter. Ive also rounded up a custom made alum top hat for my blower that ive already shown you guys on my blower. I painted the SC block, '00 timing cover, and SC oil pump/cooler in VHT high temp Chevy Orange. Ive also covered the lower intake, blower, fuel rail, water pump, oil pan, acc brackets, and all pulleys and tensioners in Gloss Black VHT as well. My brother in law and myself have taken the oil pan and lower intake and airbrushed a "flame" onto them using the same VHT in Gloss Yellow and more Chevy Orange...just sprayed the high temp paint into paint caps and poured it into the gravity feed of the airbrush... Ive learned that my dual intercooler setup is stupid and will be using a 30"x11"x3" FMIC that I have yet to purchase but is as good as mine as its my buddies old one..Ive also learned that at this point I'm going to need 60# injectors which is twice the size of what i have and i didnt expect to see that cost arising but whats new..Im using a new timing kit and ls6 beehive valve springs and gt retainers w my new cam as well as I finally learned about about the whole cam regrind process and how the base circle of a regrind will be different so custom pushrods are a must to set proper lifter preload and valve lash...

for right now..that is all..sorry for everything jumbled.. I believe the first paragraph I wrote in this thread included the words poorly prepared... :)
