Default Re: Has anyoone done heads/cam on 06

You mean like the sound of this Roe SC? I have to agree, nothing like it, sounding like a wild ape would be an under statement. This is my favorite video for those that dont know. Cant wait to hear what the new ROE sounds like

On my 01, I added the blower first year. Built the the engine (Forged, BIG cam, Striker heads etc) the next year. The "build" matched my F/I requirements. Including a possible TT..

On my 06 SS coupe I have a Paxton that I am going to install this Winter. I will build the motor to meet the needs of the blower the following Winter.

My point being, like others (a lot smarter than me) have stated, that the specs for a strong NA motor won't work if you decide to go FI. If you install a blower on a stock engine, that might be enough hp for your needs. If not, build the motor to work with the blower. If you build the strong NA motor first, you will need to modify the engine you just built.

IMHO...Unfortunately for me, from expensive experience
