I've thought of the color a lot and want to really make my car stand out. I'm going to have the crown royal bag shift boot and I'm going for a purple steering wheel and royal purple carpets and eventually a rollcage.

Here's a pic I found of purple ones. I'm hoping they won't clash with the red pinstripe.

I'm going to shoot for a 400hp build and build it strong enough to handle it and then tune it down for reliability.

 

The part that I'm stuck at "since this is my first engine build" is that I don't know how to match all my internals together so they synchronize well.

 

I mean I don't know how to make my pistons create a compression ratio that my turbo will like or a turbo compressor wheel that my cam will like.

 

I like torque so I want the compression ratio kinda high.

 

I need new pistons so I'm going Forged

 

I'm porting the head stage 2 or 3

 

I want to run near 20 psi. I've read the 50 trim on a t3t4 hybrid will start boosting pretty low to 6500?

 

I'm going to lighten the stock flywheel but don't know how much if my pistons are going to be lighter.

 

My final drive is at 3.9 w 17" rims

 

Do I plug all these things into a website and it will tell me what type of cam grind to get on my na cam??

 

What other questions should I have answers to??

Ya that's cuz I live on the road as a truck driver. I'm only home one every 2 months. Did you not see the 2k of parts I just bought??? The rims I have?? It's coming man jeez all you've posted is negative stuff why you even here??

 

I'm asking "what other questions do I need" in regards to synchronizing a balanced engine build by matching up my pistons ,cam,turbo,and port work so they have good synergy with each other.

 

I need professional help I'm talking with elgin cams and they need me to have specs on everything else related. I gotta slow down hhere and do this right.

 

I've heard there is a engine builder website??Where you plug in specs and I guess it fills in the blanks.

 

Any one know about this?

 

Or have done a similar build and has insight on how to approach this part of the build??
