Default Mike, I Think it's time to talk!

I have the "98 Pewter and Black Vert........I think this would be my net mod.....I am wanting to get the tranny done in late spring, with a torque converter also at that time. If I did a cam now, how big can I go safely with stock LS1 Heads with you guys upgrading the springs?

Since you offered a cam swap, can you add an option for new heads as well?

I had my cam installed among other things at StraightLine and am very happy with my car. The tune is just amazing for the size cam that I'm running and some pretty decent 1/4 mile times to boot . Mike is real patient and will answer all your questions.

If I had you install all of that on my 03 that has Billy Boat exhaust, Vararam B2, and polished & ported TB, how much RWHP would this give me? Also what would be the total amount? Could you cut a deal if you did it all? Thanks in advance.
