Armcclure's Build Thread; 400hp on a budget

[armcclure]

I have 2&3 axis cnc mills and a CNC lathe.
The design is the hard part.
If you can think it,
You can make it. It's just a matter of time and creativity.

Who you going with for the core? I'm looking at either bell or Garrett.

the problem with all that is you need a flow bench, and a test cell and money to go through all the iterations....good luck. U know the part of the bet where you lose, right, so i hope u make 400 whp. no email from you by the way, but that LNF block is gonna sit until you decide to take it...

My guy only uses Bell cores. Just talked to him and the core has been ordered and on the way. Should be done by the end of the week.

Are you incorporating decent runners or just something a little better than that damn wall on the inside of our stock IM?

Just making the stock intake better. But we have started tossing around the idea of a new catsed intake manifold.

I think i have those pics on my other computer?

I think I know what one you're talking about. I wasn't so sure I liked that one. Unequal runners mounting to a square plate... I think a lot car be gained (after getting rid of the laminovas) just by changing the entry.
The air coming out of the blower hits an almost perpendicular wall. WTF were they thinking?

[GMRedline]

That would be the one.
