Default It's a beast!!!

Got my car back from ProStreet Motorsports (PHIL97 SVT on the forum) and it's a beast. I already had LS6 intake, Shaner TB, Vortex CAI, Dynatechs, Z06 exhaust, Z06 bars and Bilsteins and other stuff. Here's what was done:

A&A (West Coast Racing ) Stage 2 heads
ARP Head bolts
Cometic .045 head gaskets
Comp 921 springs
Comp Cam 230/236 112 +2 XE-R cam
Chromoly Pushrods
Ported/shimed oil pump
LS2 timing chain
LS7 Clutch and flywheel
Abs of steel
Lowered on stock bolts
Custom Speed Density Tuning

First gear goes away fast and I now have a problem with 3rd gear wheel spin on 295 Kuhmo's.

What a blast...

Thanks Phil!!!!

Nice list you got there ...how does the LS7 clutch feel? Was that an aluminum flywheel or steel?

Went with the stock steel flywheel. It feels great. After 15 minutes I don't even remember that it's not the stock clutch until I grab 3, 4, 5 hard and it sticks.
