Thanks my build is underway now, I'm glad I elected to go with the cats. The heavy fuel smell would definitely been a detractor for me

I have that cam. I like it. Believe it or not the ZR1 bone stock while it put down less hp (than mine), actually puts down way more torque than your current setup. I was surprised too. Danny at Lethal Performace dyno'd his the day he got it and put down 550rwtq. That's what I put down now with head work etc. See my sig...

But I hear ya... it did feel like a WHOLE NEW CAR after the stage 2 setup. Enjoy it!!

P.S. don't get 13 tickets like I did! I go to court for ticket #13 tomorow. 13 tickets in 7 months! believe me the cops HEAR you and the assumption is YOU'RE SPEEDING even if you're not. Ba$stard$

I don't have a window but I do have the little brother of it, the Black Mamba. Love it. I can't wait to add the head work and see what it does. Right now I'm at 550rwhp/520rwtq SAE. Hoping to see ~580ish.

Expect about 30hp to the wheels with TPS big head work (285cc I believe). You may need 60lbs injectors too. I did!

Basically yes. The heads are CNC ported and Milled (not just milled). Here's what I got: http://www.texas-speed.com/p-488-prc...der-heads.aspx

I opted for the Titanium Intake Valves.

Mind you, I have a ported FAST 102 and Polished NW 102TB plus the 60lbs injectors

30hp seems about right. Most people are getting ~20hp just from milling, so another 10 from porting seems reasonable.

Where is the TSP price for just port work to existing heads.

Their site says about $2,400. I forget what I paid but that seems about right. I think it's $100 more for the Titanium Intake Valves.
