So I finally finished putting the 99 back together after my near motor death at the track last September. First pass out I ran 14.20 with headers and a ls-6 intake. Unfortuntly the valve springs were past their prime and I ended up bending three push rods, bent two valves, and put instant valve reliefs in six of the pistons in a moment of over-rev's.
I did some research and rebuilt the top-half will all new components. TSP 5.3 - 2.5 CNC heads. V3 TRQ cam, LS-6 Injectors, new pushrods, lifters, oil pump, etc.... I picked up the car from Speed inc. last week. Much to my shock the car put out 425 horse and 405 trq. For a car with this much mileage it did well. Ill take the car to the track in the Spring, but I'm guessing that it should run in the 11.5 range once i have a good rear end in it.
