Default What to do now-08 C6????

Here is what is done to her now-
Suspension/brakes: Z51 sway bars ft. & rr. Z06 shocks,
crossed drilled Stop Tech rotors, original pads.
MGW shifter.
Engine/performance: Kooks 1 3/4" LT headers, hi-flow cats, X pipe, SLP Loudmouth II mufflers & tips. Healthy muscular sound. 160 T-stat.
Comp cam, v. spring, timing chain, tensioner package recommended by, installed by & dyno-tuned by DRM (Doug Rippie Motorsports)

Would a Fast LSX 102mm intake be the next step with another good tune?

She hit 469 RWHP 425RWTQ on the dyno.

Not really feeing turbo, but could I go maybe with a Edelbrock SC with all the current mods?

Just want a bit more ...

Thanks,

Fast 102 isn't worth the money on a LS3 especially if you're thinking blower. Go with an ECS kit and you'll be very happy.

Get drag radials or road track tires and go have some fun.

Do you want a road race machine, drag race machine, or a street machine? The answer to that question will determine what "should" be next.

Don't waste $ on the FAST. We've done a lot of individual testing on those with the LS3/7 engines and I can tell you from first hand experience they're not worth much (if anything).

If a blower is in your thoughts look into the A&A kits. They're a very clean install and our blower of choice to use.
