got the car tuned. thanks East Side yes day started out alright driving down to east side and then came this friggin snow. my car is prety much full boltons cept for underdrive pully (which i have and should have installed) and thermostat. everything else is best of the best. made 363RWHP and 373 RWTQ. ran into some problems but it had nothing to do with the tune just coincidently happened but we found the problem and fixed it. other than that wish i could have gotten on it on the way home but i spent 8 hours on the road getting stuck 4 times and almost dying 3 times. let me just say PLOW THE F'N HIGHWAYS next time....anyways thanks to sean and al who were nice and helpful. heads and cam for me next.

sounds like some nice numbers!! wonder what she'll do at the track now 
too bad to hear about the snow. Luckily I haven't had to worry about it since I'm deployed! I just hope it's all over with before I get back!

ya i guess letting them do the cam would make sense as ill be having them do the install and tune...just gotta pay some billz so i can have spare cash to do all this. but the big thing is im deciding on wether or not to go with a forged LS2 shortblock and then stage 3 LS6 heads THEN get the cam as i can go with a bigger one with those cubes...

If you're thinknig abotu doing a ls2 402 I can help with that...... do it all at once if that's a serious thought. The heads and cam that will work with a 402 and what will work with a 346 are not the same. I smoked my stock shortblock last year and was faced with the decision as to what route to take, I lookd into reusing the cam/heads that were on my stock shortblock, and it just wasn't gonna be optimal.
My only advise is really figure out what you want from teh car and what you want to spend, and then move foreward. You're in with a good shop that can build you mild to wild, so whatever you decide you want, they can definately get you there.
