Hey valdeztke
I was talking to Andy Green this morning, and he told me he had finished his 441 inch motor. It made a respectable 550RWHP530RWTQ. He took a guy for a ride and he bought the motor outright. Like you were saying FI? He's now going to build a wild twin turbo 402. What does one do with 800+ RWHP and TQ.? Would I like one, probably, could I afford one??? I wounder what my wife would say?

The heads at $2000-2300 plus $200 labor (if done at the same time as cam) or $500 if done seperately is still three times the price for minimal HP/TQ. Not being a dick here just stating what I believe and I believe that the LS2 heads flow mighty well and your money is better spent in other places. Again JMO

BLUE shows the baseline on my C6 4L65E auto / 3.15 rear and Corsa mufflers.
RED shows car with LG Pro headers, x-pipe w/out cats, Halltech Stinger and LS2 Edit tune.
GREEN shows addition of ETP 215 heads, Comp 224/228 .581/.588 114 cam, ASP underdrive pulley, FAST intake and Yank SS3200 converter (the high stall costs me some RWHP on the dyno).
All dyno pulls on the same dyno so that I could see what I was really getting! Total gains: 132.03RWHP/105.37RWTQ
I wanted the car to be VERY consistant as a bracket racer in the Corvette Challenge, as well as a good and well mannered daily driver.

If you pay someone 900 dollars to install an intake, when the firewall piece costs about 60 dollars from LPE you should go ahead and pay me my 5000 dollar commission on the sale of the 900 dollar intake as well.
I can't imagine paying someone 900 dollars for 2-4 hours worth of work IF THAT.
PS, does that bill come with a tube of KY??

I have seen some FAST intakes get installed and I doubt very highly that many people are doing that job in 2 hours. Not only do you have to mod the firewall or the intake but you have to do some work on the fuel rails and change the o-rings on the injectors as well to get everything to fit. Or you have to change to the oldstyle rails and injectors for more $$$$. It isn't an easy off and on swap IMHO but it can be very rewarding as many people have shown.
