I just got another motor in my car because blew I the other one so far I got header, intake, and exhaust on it and its a 97 ls non v-tec motor any suggestions on what should I do next I wanna try and go the non turbo way (all motor)

 

What did you do to your last motor? If you got all the bolt ons you might wanna get a larger cam. Dunno if there is a large selection of cams for you though. I'd personally boost the LS motor.

 

What are your goals for the engine?

 

My goals that are intended are to try and go all motor just because i dont know enough info about the turbo way to do it and i keep hearing turbo is pretty high maintenence but if you guys can teach me about the turbo way maybe i might just do it

 

blow it agian

 

all motor is risky 10000 rpm

 

pull the head...have it ported and polished....get some crane cams or crowers that are good to 8000 rpm, throw some new valve springs and retainers in there as well as lsightly over sized valves....

 

thats what i was thinkin except for the over sized valves what about for the clutch and how far can i go with an all motor (as in moding it) and still have a some what reliable car

 

I would prefer to have an ALL MOTOR setup, however someone made a good point. Someone here on the boards, I forget who. All motor setups give you full power all the time. You can't just turn down the power like you can with a Turbo setup. For someone like me in Pennsylvania, we see lots of snow and ice, I'd like to be able to have a setup where I could change the amount of power easily, but not have the maint required by having a turbo setup.

So, all motor with all power all the time is good, if that's really what you want. If at any time you would like to be able to cut back that power, may want to consider a turbo setup instead.

 

also throw some 11:1 pistons in there and have the bottom end balanced as well.
for a clutch clutchmaster stage 2 or better or the ACT hdss or xtss are all good
