Default max effort stock block ls3

just got a 2008 ls3 auto and looking to get all i can with the car. alrdy got my cam . Bobby at kyspeed has helped me a ton. great guy to deal with. he helped me get my 5th gen camaro to top 5 stock c.i all motor manual and 15th all motor stock c.i. car would of done alot better but traded for the c6 right after we took the stock clutch out. 11.6@119 with a bad 60'. 1.81 . never put skinnies on or a decent rear tire. but i always wanted a c6 ls3 car and finally got one. kinda lookin to do the same thing with this car. as i only drive it to go race or take the wife out to eat . stuff like that. lookin for ideals . what we are thinking atm and going with atm.

i got a good deal on some lg / borla 1 3/4" long tubes with 3" catless mid x pipe drops to 2.5 at the axel.
gonna go with a vararam more then likely or a hallteck . one or the other.
big cam for a ls3 car.
maybe a 25% pulley
dont think a fast is worth it on a stock cube car. so ill probably do what rick crawford does to his intakes.
94 series race star front runners . probably zr1 rear wheel for now. 17"
3600 stall. not gonna bother the heads atm.
what some things u guys run and think will do good.

also will have a plate kit on it aswell with a 150 shot for when i need it lol

my goal is mid 10's on motor. and 9's on the juice. i think its possible but i dont know alot about a vette . but figured that would be a good goal to shoot for this year.

no , i do alot of unprepped racing events here at home . go to the track maybe 5 times a year just to play around and see how the car is doing. but mostly go out on the weekend and race 75% of the time thats what the car will be doing. but still want to be able to drive it anywhere. just lookin for ideal a max effort street build .

we have a few unprepped events here that 1 is held 1 time a month and another at a airport that they do 3-4 a year. big turnout.

Just don't do what I did. I put to big a cam in and my wife doesn't want to ride in the car. Then to make thing worse, I put Recaro seats in that require 5 point belts. I plan to lease my next one so I don't jack with it and keep this one to play with.

lol i did that with my 5th gen. but my wife had never been able to drive a stick car. i put that big cam in and she done good with it. she drove it better with the big cam lol. but ive never owned a auto car and dont now how a stall effects dd . so i figured and think a 3600 is a good starting point. i put fixed back seats in my camaro and all that. but she dont mind stuff like that to bad.
she just happy i got a auto this round so she can play too.
