Default 2000 c5 ls3 build in the works

well i havent posted much but ive had my 2000 c5 a4 for a couple of months i pulled the stock ls1 and did a 347 swap with 40k miles 243s ported and polished milled .020 by me custom grind 239/245 624 624 114+4 cam , p.i 3400 stall stock 2:73s ported ls2 intake and tb by me, tpis 1 3/4 longtubes with stock h pipe and magnaflows and the best i got was 11.3 @ 123 mph on mickey thompson 295 45 18 drag radials heres the video and timeslip






i got an offer on the motor so i sold it and ran into an l92 long block for a great price ive decided to tear apart and build with ls3 pistons, port and polish the heads and mill them also adding ls3 hollow stem intake valves.the cam will be a g6x3 cam, going with a ported ls3 intake manifold with stock rails and injectors, sold the 1 3/4 headers and picked up some kooks 1 7/8 longtubes with a 3 inch xpipe

Doing a 402 LS3 for my C5 now. Initially going with a Jr. intake and then moving onto a little positive pressure displacement. Just don't know which type yet.

I had a Kenne Bell so I have a VIS Carbon Fiber 4" cowl hood already so no issues. Wondering if I can fit a Holley Hi-rise under there.
