[347stroker]

Hey guys im new here, I just bought a 347 stroker sb to go in my 02 gt. I just want some opinions on what heads and cams you guys run. I dont know everything about engines and I will have help with the build. I dont really know anything about the duration, lift ect for cams. I can tell you that this will be a nitrous motor, and when the money is there will have a turbo set up. Thanks for the help.

Are you ditching the MOD?

 

[347stroker]

Absolutely time for some real fun.

 

[G.T. Rags]

Nitrous is ran with high compression and strokers are too.

But if you want alot of PSI on your turbos you need low compression

You need to find the happy median

 

[flamestang]

sound awsome. going EFI?

 

[347stroker]

Ok so are you saying you dont like the turbo/nitrous combo? Yea it will be EFI im looking around at different plenums, may go with a trick flow.

 

[G.T. Rags]

No the turbo nitrous combination is fine

But im saying Nitrous LOVES high compression and Turbos under high boost cant handle real high compression so im saying find a happy median. Wich will depend on the boost your planning on running

 

[347stroker]

Ok I see, as far as a head cam package do you have any opinions. I just dont know enough about them to make a decision.

 

[flamestang]

trick flow R or Holley systemax are two of the best (for long runner/low end torque)

 

[347stroker]

The trick flow R is what im looking at. What are you running, thats a very clean ride.

 

[flamestang]

check out Compcams xfi strocker cams. I am running one and realy like it.

 

[flamestang]

holley I have it off right now I am port matching and polishing runers.

 

[G.T. Rags]

Im looking at the Holley Systemax ones for mine

if your gona run boost you might even consider a box style intake or maybe the spider intake......they arent as much for low end torque but if your gona run boost it wont be as big a deal.......if your gona put on some decent boost i wouldnt go over about 9.5:1 compression......trickflow also make really nice heads.....if you wanna spend some money you might look at the CNC 185cc trickflows......and just get a custom came once you have every other part of your engine already decided on

 

[347stroker]

Alright thanks for the help guys is there anything specific I need in the heads. I have heard AFR heads are strong and Im planning on giving them a call, prob just do the same thing with the cam.

 

[G.T. Rags]

AFR are very strong they would also be a good choice

 

[flamestang]

5.0 magazine has done a few intake dyno shoot outs and the holley and tf r. prove to be the best.

 

[G.T. Rags]

I keep hearing great things about the Holley yet everyone always gets the Trickflows so I havent heard alot of on car reviews

 

[flamestang]

I am considering changing to the spider because now have pax 2000. also I am running AFR 185's.

 

[347stroker]

Yea I think Im going to go with AFR, man im about to be broke again haha. When the time comes Im pretty set on going with Hellion for my FI, and prob around a 150-200 shot of juice.
