use the search button then come back with some specific Q's depending on the cam and the miles on the car and the amount of work to get there, do you want to do? timing chain and sprockets, valve springs seal rocker arms, HB if a high lift cam you will do springs, single bee hive, dual coil. so you see we just can't tell you what you want

What mods have been done to the car so far?

Power goals?

RPM range?

How do you want it to drive when you are done? This is probably the most important question.

Thanks guys. I'm looking for 4500 rpm -6000rpm power.
So far I have
Fast 102 Manifold
Intake
.

I'm looking unit heads & cam. Just want to make sure I'm going to right direction.

Drivability isn't too much of a concern.
As long as it doesn't turn off at red lights I'll be happy with it .

Looking to do just a bolt ons set up with a 100shot

My car has 90k miles .


Thanks guys for the time and response. !

Where are you located, what fuel is available, a good speed shop in your area is where I would start looking, even if you want to do the work yourself.

Emissions may also come to play depending on where you are located.

Headers? I'm going to assume so.

If you are wanting top end power and friendly a shot the G6X3 might be something to look into. It is a big cam but some of the fastest cars are running that setup.

Need something a little smaller we have that too.

Tons of videos' of this setup in Camaro's and Corvette's.

We have had customers in the 9's with the G6X3/LS3 cars with spray on proper setups.
