I have a 2001 Corvette A4, only mod is a borla cat-back.. i plan to spend around 3,500 Dollars on the car, what do you think about this setup:

1. Texas-Speed Headers Long tube Headers, 580 USD
2. Magnaflow X-Pipe, 265 USD
3. Custom Off-road pipes and O2 Simulators, 150 USD
4. Vararam Cold Air Intake, 350 USD
5. TR 224/224 114 LSA Camshaft with Valvetrain Package, 650 USD
6. Fuddle Racing 3400 Stall 2.1 STR, 400 USD
7. Used M6 C5 Diffrential with 3.42 gears, 400 USD
8. NGK TR55 Spark Plugs and MSD 8.5mm Wires, 80 USD
9. Professianal Dyno Tune, 400 USD

any money left will be paid for gaskets and labour charge.. The car is a daily driver and might visit the strip once in a while.. im hopping it will produce around 380whp and hit 11's in the drag strip..

what do you think guys? any suggestions?

Very drivable the only comment I would make is thats a little high for the stall if it's a daily driver. A 2800 or 3200 would be better for daily driving. But if it's a weekender or occasional track visit car you should come out around 410 to 420 at the wheels with that setup. I would also do a double roller timing chain and ported LS6 oil pump since you have it all apart.

yeah i might consider getting a 3200 then.. thats the only point i was actually thinking about.

who sells double roller timing chain? im getting a ported ls6 oil pump with the cam package.. i think the cam 224/224 114LSA is great for DD... I tuned the idle for this cam on other cars and at 750 RPM it had a little rough idle but at 850 really smooth and barely noticed..

I really doubt 420whp.. even in a dynojet i might barely hit 400whp maybe if im lucky! im using stock untouched 241 heads
