Coming home from Iraq next week!!!

This is the deal I'll be home next week and I've got $2,500 to spend on my car since this motor is a big terd, I figured 150 shot 3000 stall, dual and dump, then gut. Motor is nearly stock excluding the cam and some 1.6 rollers. the trans has been built by a friend of mine with a lot of experience with GM tranies, it now has 3:23 gear in it. I'm going to gut every thing out of the inside and add a glass hood. Any ideas on times for me?

Would need more info on the cam to give any decent guestimates. Got sticky tires?

Re: Coming home from Iraq next week!!!

Glad to hear you're going home! been here 3 months strong and only 12 more to go! USMC though! But back to topic! Try out some vortec heads and rpm airgap intake, some spray and a converter, should wake it up a damn good bit!
