Performance upgrades
I just dropped off my 03 to have a TSP 228r 110LSA cam installed, with dual springs, ls7 lifters/trays, speed engineering headers, summit underdrive balancer, catch can, timing chain, water pump, oil pump, stock heads but will be decked for more compression (thats what the builder said) Cant wait to get it back and feel the new found power.

Should be a real eyeopener when you hit the gas pedal.

The exact setup I dream of! Did they give you an ETA for completion?
Should be a runner!

That 110 LSA should have a really nice, lopey idle, and I'll bet when the tach hits around 3G in 1st gear, all Hell will break loose, not too mention the tires!! Best of luck on your build.....

That a boy, lots of mods on one ticket (probably a fairly large ticket) but it will be like a totally different car.
Enjoy!

Congrats on the mods. I hope everything goes smoothly. It's not only going to go faster, but it will also sound better too.

I've been thinking about doing some similar mods. How many miles on your car? Did they give you a price estimate?
