How does this 400 setup sound?

[EmeraldFlame772]

This will be my first gmt400 build so I'm going to do it as follows

400 ci dart shp block scat crank 6 inch rods wiseco pistons 214 /219 hydrolic roller cam 114 LSA .500 lift cam 9:81 compression 1.7 crane roller rockers AFR 195 heads JBA shorty headers fitech efi edelbrock performer rpm intake in a 95 k1500 heavy half 4x4 373 rear end gear ratio no idea what it will do in terms of numbers for power but I bet it's going to be fun

well, 9.82:1 compression would be WAY better than 9.81:1..... But dont go overboard, 9.83:1 would just make it run too rough for any sort of street driving.

JK, That sounds awesome if you have the funds for it Dart block and AFR heads = BIG $$$

 

[EmeraldFlame772]

Well I'm going to do it peice by peice as I get the parts lol but it should be pretty fast

It sounds like a lot of money, a small but yet drivable cam and a recipe for you being an expert at swapping transmissions!

Exactly why I have a built 4l60

What would be a cam recommendation? I do have annoying emissions testing here

 

[94burbk1500]

Unless you go with a really aggressive cam, I don't think your cam is going to make as much difference on the emissions as your tune and the emissions devices you use. Are you going to keep EGR and run some decent cats?

 

[EmeraldFlame772]

Im not keeping EGR but im going to run some high flow cats how big can i go and still not worry about emissions?

 

[94burbk1500]

emissions depend on the state, the registration type, the year and type of vehicle, I couldn't tell you.
