I will be using the timing set that is included with the Cam kit. It looks like the CR will be around 9-9.25 when all said and done. The ilde was pretty high before ~800 RPM and I usually have it around 1100 when moving around the docks.The SM manifolds have tails that almost touch the tips on the thru hull (~2.5 Inches), I was thinking of setting the initial ignition timing at 10* but since I will be using the dyno, I will get to play with it a bit.

The rpm ranges advertised aren't that useful. I would think you would make max horsepower at 54-5500, but the dyno will tell for sure. Careful on your max advance and run good fuel.

Going to be starting a similar project with my S10.... race weight of 2800 pounds and is high-10s capable as she sits. Really loving the idea of a cheap 5.3L turbo set-up to go 9's. My understanding is the 5.3L short block is 1200 HP capable.

Josh,

Comp is rather weak in the lift department, and I'm not a fan of their cores. A big block Chevy with decent heads needs lift. I would look at some
crane offerings. The 731 (or equivalent) is a good choice, but requires you to spin it a little faster (5600). Just my thoughts.
