Woohoo, just ordered heads,now need final cam selection and parts list. Finally, after 6 years of waiting I broke down and ordered some heads.I went with TEA 1.5 rev.2 5.3 that were on special. Brent let me get in just after the deadline( thanks). Been reading and wishing since I bought the car in 98. Now I've come to the conclusion, the car is not worth much money,it's long past warranty, and my wife will have to get another daily driver if she can't deal with it. As for the cam I'm pretty convinced the F13 is the one for me but still open for suggestions for the next day or two.. It is still a daily driver/weekend car but will see the track every 4-6 weeks hopefully.
Car has 75 000 miles on it.
Goals are a fun weekend warrior, lopey idle, 425 rwhp+, and maybe even a 1/4 mile pass in the 11's(though would be happy with 12.1-12.2 @ low 120's mph
Oh yeah and this is my anniversary gift from my wife! HE HE ( 10 year).She gets diamonds, I get to destroy her car.
Try to spread it around a bit so I ordered:
Heads from TEA
Head and cam install package from Thunder
Going to order a SLP LS6 intake,single roller timing chain from TSP (somehow it's cheaper there, then from SLP)
Cam from Futral
Nittos on the way from Disscount Tire
Anything I missed or need to change?
Thanks
Jay

I am a little worried about the rear after reading all the breakage stories.Will have to take it a little easy at first, thus the drag radials.Still potential to break easily I'm aware .My clutch was actually just installed about 2 months ago.I went with a kevlared Zo6 clutch, just forgot to put it in sig.
Thanks
