Default Update... Project F#cking Awesome

I am ordering everything below on tommorow....
The vehicle is a 99 FRC with 13k with a slp loudmouth and a Raptor xxl

NEW MODS:
MS4 AT 111 LSA
PRC HEADS LS6 PORTED 50 HP
LS6 Intake
PORTED LS6 OIL PUMP
LS2 TIMING CHAIN
UD PULLEY
TSP LT HEADERS
TSP X PIPE WITH HI FLOW CATS
NX WET KIT 150 SHOT

Will I be able to use an LS7 clutch with this or will I need a stronger one? Eventually... in a couple of months a DTE 3.90 diff with brace

The mods you're putting on are quite similar to what I'm having done in the next couple of weeks (sans the heads and NX), only I'm going with the Torquer camshaft from TSP. I sure hope it works out well...I'm nervous about this camshaft.

Good luck with your new goodies.

Nice man.

I'd go with a RAM or TEXTRALIA or RPS or EXEDY clutch and flywheel. Enjoy your mods....

Why are you nervous? I have only heard good things about that cam.

will you need to flycut the stock pistons or are you going with a forged motor?

Sweet, thanks!

I want to see pics of the X pipe as well. Do you know if its a Merge-Style X (like LG's or Dr. Gas) or a True-X (like Magnaflow)?

I'm nervous because this is the first major mod I'm having done to the car since I took ownership. Everything else I've had done was no-brainer work. As long as the guys doing the work take their time to do things right the first time, I would hope that everything turns out just fine. Nevertheless, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Have you thought about spending the same cash on a Procharger?
