    Been way too long (4 yrs) since I've played around with this car. I Just dropped the roller eng. in today. Still have a lot of connecting to finish up. Should fire it up in a few days, or by next week! :Brow::3gears::3gears::3gears:

    107 lsa, 247/ 255 dur. @ .050 Bill M thought this would be a bad a__ sounding cam. I've plumbed in an electric vacuum pump to run my brakes with this grind! :TU:

    Wow, that cam sounds big for a 350! What compression ratio you running?
    Did you have the block decked and heads shaved to increase your compression?
    My pistons sat .055 in the hole, so I had the block decked .050, and my heads cut .030
    Im also running the TA big stainless valves in ported heads.

    Cool, your build sounds similar to mine, I have a bit less gear (3.42) and a bit less stall (2600 or so)
    BUT, we have the same year 350 GS's:grin:

    Does the roller have a similar power range as your last cam?

    Andy; This one is a bit higher than the Voodoo was, 3,000-6,500 ish. I needed more stall with the last cam too.

    Stopped by Marty's house today to pic up the head sections he offered me and his car looks a lot better than the picture in his avatar! He did a nice install of his new roller engine,it looks great in the engine comprtment.

    Thanks again for the sbb 350 head sections Marty and I can't wait to hear how it does at the track!:TU:

    Yes Mart , I remember you ran that cam as I was going to go to that from my 310 but after you said it went flat I stayed with 310 for now.I'm sure Derek told you what is in the works. I'm at Norwalk now for Buick race day(car still isn't ready) .I'm hoping to either make BPG or Midwest challenge .once I know which one I can get to I think we should get as many SBB guys there .So try to get that tuned by then and try to make it.
