i know you can make the cams fit it takes some knocking and shaving lol i think idk i have talked to someone on here about it before honestly i want to stick with a blower thats my main thing but i want to be puttin down serious power so cams seemed like a good option basically i want to put more than 300 down at the wheels with a blower and no nitrous never been a fan of it so any other suggestions than a cam?

good luck with the M62.Your gonna need all of the cooling mods plus meth or run E85.Plus porting full bolt ons and alot of timing!!!Now with a turbo it's more possible.Im on the M62 with a 2.9 and full bolt ons with E85 and probably around 250ish whp.Its tough to get at/above 300whp because this blower generates alot of heat and doesnt flow nearly as much as a turbo would.

Found a vacuum/boost leak.I knew it wasn't the tune 100% causing my shitty idle.Boost guage reads alot more vacuum than it ever has.Now just to fine tune her via Hpt

you guys and your boosting issues...



i will just grab my popcorn n smile at my lack of issues being n/a





....even if you are faster

1LowLS

I'll take my issues for being faster Def worth it.I just put it in 2nd.punch it and watch it spin to redline lmao

1LowLS

Terrible vid but its hard to steer shift and hold a camera with terrible torque steer lol.This is 2nd gear that I floor it in.

Well im gonna start with an m62 kit from zzp because it comes with everything i need and its affordable for now eventually ill probly switch to a tvs blower and i will DEFINATLEY be running meth by the end and a good H/E and i would love E cus its easy to access around my parts but i dont know how to do that setup but even at that if im runnin say a 2.8" pulley and meth on a good tune i think i will be close to 250-270 but not over thats my thought but im for sure not an expert at this im a painter not a wrench turner im just trying to figure this out as I go which is why Im askin all these questions. And i know that the power potential with a turbo is higher but thats kinda why i want a blower not that turbos arent great because they are but thats what almost everyone does for big numbers. i want to be a little different and have a high output from a blower (not that no one has done that either some guy on here almost hit 11's last weekend on a blower). Any ways if i had a tvs port and polished 2.7" pulley full bolt ons meth a good tune and supporting internals what do you think ill be puttin down just trying to figure out what my best route is going to be and you all are my experts.

^if you want higher goals than 250whp just go turbo.. its soooo much easier not to mention cheaper

zerosk8ter83

iTrader: (3)

turbo does not come cheap

iTrader: (9)

neither does shooting for high hp numbers on an s/c setup that will still have much lower hp limits

zerosk8ter83

theres really no point if you wanted high numbers ofcourse turbo is the way to go then wasting cash on a m62 that will never reach above the 300 limit

Big_Red

Like i said i dont want to go turbo for that reason that almost everyone tryin to put down big numbers goes turbo i want a different set up than the crowd ya know

And also said that im eventually going to go tvs

1LowLS

TVS youll need a built bottom end or your gonna go boom bottom end .Built bottom end,tvs,and e85 will put you over 300whp easy.
SC 2.2"s,Did you cut the intake manifold gasket in the middle for the PCV port since there offset?

zerosk8ter83

iTrader: (3)

yes my buddy did it on the build day

Big_Red

what all goes in to building up a bottom end and to run e??? like i said im a painter thank you by the way for reading the whole post to effectively answer my question 1lowls how small a pulley do you think i would want to run?

1LowLS

I'm not sure about pulley size on the TVS.Maybe ask a LSJ TVS guy or even Stenguyen.He's a built 2.2 on a tvs.Bottom end build would be forged rods/pistons and I would do arp headstuds as well.You can leave the sleeve's alone as there good to 400 but if you wanna exceed that then the block would have to go to a machine shop for some new sleeves.and to run E85,all you would need is 80 lbs injectors.If you do a M62 setup on a 2.9,you can run a 50/50 blend of E85 and 91 octane(or 93 if avail.)with 60 lbs injectors.but I would get 80's since you plan on a build with TVS.

Just to add it was a dry shot and wasn't tuned for.
