Default Heads and cam upgrade

I getting ready to do a heads and cam swap. Brian Tooley will be doing the machine work. Probably going with trick flow 220 heads (61-62 CC, CNC ported and milled to use stock head gasket) Powered metal guides, dual Brian Tooley springs, LS3 valves, LS7 lifters, 3/8" push rods. The cam I'm thinking about is 229/239 .631/.631 111LSA. Hoping to get between 450-470. Car currently has LG super pro long tubes x pipe, high flow cats, vortex cold air intake, LS6 intake with Shanner ported TB. Has anyone on here used Brian Tooley, I have heard nothing but good things about him.

The ls6 intake will hold you back.

I've been talking with Brian tooley about a very similar setup. Same ported heads,custom cam,ported fast 102. He told me I would see 480rwhp or better.

A ported Fast 90/92/102 intake will really help you achieve 450+whp.

The FAST 102 intake is a great mod for the LS2, if it was me, I would add a set of 1 3/4 headers as well. Those two mods will give you some great low end HP/TQ. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...st-intake.html also go to google and read some of the threads with "1 3/4 headers vs 1 7/8 headers". Here are just a few: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...r-1-3-4-a.html & http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...s-1-7-8-a.html & http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...s-1-7-8-a.html IMO it all comes down to the tune. Good Luck with your mods!

Default Slightly used headers and exhaust

I'm looking for someone who'd like to sell a good set of headers and an exhaust for my 2011 Grand Sport convertible automatic. I'm on a performance budget. I know it's a long shot. Only quality parts please, no junk. Any suggestions or feed back would help also.
