    355 Supercharger intake ideas

    Advice for 355

    Have a look at cars on here like deuce, not a abba fan, ssute and countless others A N/A 355 requires a lot of money to go fast and then it's a very very expensive toy to keep running as well, you will use 14 litres just cruising and 25 if you give it a hard time per 100km I can shut LS3 of...

    Advice for 355

    Yes port the standard heads unless you are planing on 550plus hp the. The alloys are a $2000 jump over the cost of porting cast heads to support the extra power What your really better of doin is a LS swap Then you have a chance of shutting him up A ve r8 will get into the 12s with a...

    Advice for 355

    I doubt a combo like this will see anywhere near 400rwhp For that power up you need a full on built 355 with full race port heads, a solid roller cam in the 250s range with nearly 0.600 lift and high 11 comp or nearly Into the 12 Nearly all the power in a holden is in heads and yours are...
