lt4bud, thanks for all your help on this matter. i am waiting to see what rottie comes up with as far as heads we might use a ls6 or a afr. but for cost we were thinking of using the ls1 head but that means giving up some power. once again thank you for your help

Hey Stunna,
I wanted the same thing out of my Heads & Cam package. I wanted the vette to remain very streetable, reliable and comfortable. I spoke to Chris and Doug at ECS and went with a 224/230 Cam with AFR heads. Like Wicked Weasel said, I ended up with 407 rwhp and got everything that I wanted out of it. There's no stalling, no shaking, no surging, just a nice low rumble at idle and a nice lopey sound when you listen to the exhaust. The difference in power is like night and day, I was spinning my runflats at half throttle till I got new rubber on there. Still, its still very comfortable in stop and go traffic and when cruising on the highway. I love it!!

i am defeniyley going to go with afr 205cc. my question is why port the oil pump and did you port your stock throttlle body. i like the cam suggestion. i was also thinking of using a a evac pump for the oil. also what do think about these profiles 226/226 or 232/230 with .58/.58 lift and a 110-112 lsa

2000 fuel injectors are 26 lbs
newer injectors are 28 98 injectors are 28 We with 99 and 2000 are 26lbs
I would get svo 30 's so you have a little room
28 might be ok but it all depends on the HP you want to make.
That's engine HP
Some vendors have a calculator to figure the size at 80% duty cycle
Maybe racetronics
