Will do. Yeah, I agree, I don't think I'm gonna see the 500 mark without the heads. I'm hoping this combo will be good for low 11's/high 10's on DR's

You should be able to hit 10's with cooler weather here in Texas. If you go run it this summer don't expect to be happy with your times unless you go just to practice launching, shifting, etc. For the best possible timeslips go when it's cooler and the DA is close to sea level. Sure you already know all this b

I agree. Hopefully my mods will be complete by summer's end then it will be track time. I'd like to have a true 10' second street car that is just as reliable as a stocker. Hopefully I can get the times down with some suspension work too.

You will be able to do it. You can do it on stock suspension as I did. I'll keep looking for your times. Best of luck.

why not wait and install the cam and heads at the same time? it would save a lot of work on the valvesprings, fluids, etc.

I thought he had an LS3 based on his basline numbers of 400/409 to the wheels. I've never heard of an LS2 doing that.

Yes we are back to 455rwhp. If he gets trick flow 225's he will be over 500rwhp.

Well the car is only 4 months old (to me) it was bone stock when I got it and my mods are done as money comes in. I'm a blue collar worker and have to sacrifice a lot to make ends meet while trying to build a fast car. I would like to upgrade the clutch and rear but haven't got to that point yet. If you have any advice or can help as you suggested I'm all ears. Thanks!
