If you dont mind spending the money for a better valvetrain go with a custom cam. I ordered mine from LE Portworks. He is very knowledgable about LTx's and can help you achieve your goals.

Tell us abou this EVO thing you mentioned.

Comp Cams has a free software package that lets you put in the engine data and any modifications that you make then selects the best cam for your car. Look for it on the comp cam website.

Take those pro 1s put a little work into them, port the intake and toss a solid roller in the 240ish range @.050 he'll never come close. You should be deep in the 11s with gears and a good tune.

what size of heads are those?
Probably 200cc
