if its a track car, then stab the cam in there that makes the rest of the combo go, tell him (wayfast) to take his skirt off and buck the F$%^ up with the right converter and gear, get a truck and a trailer and go racing. Send him on his way.....now my head hurts....
No cam is gonna maximize the combo yet still have nice street manners and spin to 7K +++ ain't gonna happen....
I'm still convinced wayfast doesn't know what he wants let alone what he actually needs....as a result he is doomed to be woefully dissappointed either in output or in driveability or maintenance requirements or just operating costs.....what kind fuel requirements does this motor have when its set on "kill"? could he limp it around on 93. Is wayfast capable of playing with the timing to accomplish this?? or is he going to detonate the the thing to death??? Roller cam (solid lifter I assume), is he willing/able to check valve springs and lifters periodically, how about adjusting valves?
Build him the short block and put a standard 23 deg. head on the thing with a reasonable intake/carb/cam and let him cut his teeth and learn as he goes. Why try to hit the home run with first swing of the bat?
I'm not trying to be a prick, this just doesn't sound like everyone is on the same page and that means you wayfast. You need to do some reading, listening and learning, go to E-town or island or atco and see what guys are running and how fast they go. Look at their combos, and you will see what I'm talking about. I'm not say not to do it, but you had better be fully aware of what kind of motor you are looking at. It will require maintenance, tuning, $$$, respect (while your driving it) a suspension and chassis capable of harnessing big power. If the motor was really going low 11's / high 10's (I don't doubt it was) your car will need a roll bar, maybe a cage, got one? What kinda rear ya got stock 7.5 10-bolt (or whatever came stock in a third gen)? That will last maybe 5-10 runs (if the suspension hooks) with sticky tires before it totally ****s the bed? Are you up for it?? Only you know.
Good luck guys.....and most importantly have fun....
