I would either: (a) have the LS6 heads reworked by Total Engine Airflow or Advanced Induction; or (b) sell the LS6 heads and get a set of Trick Flow 215s.

??? it won't blow up. why is everyone so afraid of n2o? get a racetronix kit with the hotwire setup and a 255 walbro. spray the **** out of it with a wet 150. a friend of mine did this on a car tuned WITHOUT a wideband for years. i'd guess his nitrous use would be measured in thousands of lbs. he ran like 50lbs of the **** through that car a week. was a 120k+ mile stock 99 long block car.

he bitchslapped a stock ford gt on the highway with a 233/239 cam and that 150 hit. with the ls1 intake even...letting the gt have the hit from a 50 roll.

Ls6 intake or fast 90 .. +1 on the underdrive pulley.. I didn't see a slp lid or ftp lid , and a larger mass air, plus a larger tb but save the money and get the intake and tb same time . If I had your mods my next move would be lid and underdrive pulley then intake and tb.

Upgrade your rear end!

I was stupid and thought o it will be fine i've only got bolt on's, exhaust, a 4k stall, and street tires. I was out last night and launched in 2nd gear and it just bit on those street tires instead of spinning like it does in 1st gear. Shattered the rear end haha towed home today

I'm just saying man...I noticed you said hurst shifter so I assume you have a 6 speed...which is going to shatter that rear a lot faster than an auto. If you don't upgrade the rear right now just at least be smart like I wasn't and have some cash put back for when it breaks because it WILL, it's just a matter of when.
