If your trying to stay on a budget, I would recommend that you get a pull out engine with all accessories, wiring harness and PCM. Cause chasing down the odd and end stuff will nickel and dime you. With the right CAM and Head combo you can get into the 400+ HP range with a good tuner.
I see your going with the MS PCM.. why not just use the oem LM7 PCM and setup.. there are many tuner that can work with you on it. But that your choice.
As far as CAM's.. just pick the correct one for your RPM and Type of driving/racing.. bigger is not always better. With these Gen III/IV engines a mid cam will get you over 400+ if setup correctly and if you dump some more weight out of the 240.. you will be flying anyway (if you have not already done so) !
You might find a LS6 for around $300 or less (if lucky). I know that the Truck ones are great for low to mid range RPM.. you might have hood clearance problem and they are just Ugly and if your racing, your most likely will want to run a intake for the higher RPM Range. The truck ones might run out of air as you get above the 5500 range... below that, they are great !
The 240SX is common swap now a days, I am sure those guys will ping in and get you all of the information you need. |
