Sounds good, Chris! I think you might be surprised at how hard my car pulls on the highway. 150rwhp down is going to be a lot to make up for. I'll be getting a retune this week too.

I wont be surprised,i know that u trap 136mph at least and i know that you will beat me but i have a ls2 and u have a ls3.thats the difference.if you were a supercharged only ls2 i strongly believe that a h/c/i ls2 would be a whole different story.i also strongly believe that there is only 1 way to find out.any takers in Houston,Tx?however Mark,i know for a fact that your s/c ls3 is a beast and it will beat my n/a ls2 but i dont think it would be as bad as someone might think.maybe just 4 or 5 bus lengths lol jk

Adding full exhaust with headers this week. Give me a ring when you get it tuned, and I'll stop by and get mine tuned as well with the headers. I've got a couple video cameras to take dyno videos with. Really interested in seeing your NA numbers with those awesome heads.

I think your clutch should be fine if it is holding on the street and track. The dyno pulls on the clutch are nothing compared to those ET street burnouts and launches at the track.

I will be out of town all next week. My cameras will be at the shop, so make sure and ask them to video your car on the dyno. Should be a beast! That is the perfect NA setup that you have. Mine will be under the knife.

Thanks for the replies! I've been away from the forum for a while...I think I'll do h/c/i at first with probably a blower cam just in case I do a future FI setup. Besides, I'll need to get used to the additional power gradually.
