Taking the car to the track on a trailer, probably will break the stock 10 bolt on a good launch, then it goes back on the trailer into storage, and then in the spring time it gets a 9".
We're having a track rental the second or third Saturday in October, so thats when Ill find out. I wanted to enjoy the car somewhat this year without dumping any more money into it now. I only put 600 miles on the car this year.

If you want more bang for the buck shop the for sale sections with custom setups that are slightly used/re-milled. I found a killer setup that will outperform the le3 setup for less $$. Also you dont have to worry about downtime and shipping your stuff away and not getting it for months.

What setup did you find that will outperform the LE3 setup for less money???
Down time: whenever you are building anything there will be down time. Even the 15 hours to install the new heads is still considered down time.
Id rather buy a quality product once, and be done with it. Instead of mixin' and matchin' parts and always upgrading etc. In the end you spend more.

I used a weenie Joe Overton cam and E.B. Porting...went times in my sig last year with 16x8s all around little M/T radials 255 50 R16s, shorties and a stock wp...
Hoping for 11.20s with the Kooks stepped, EWP and the Bogarts with 275 50 15 M/T radials...Dyno 1/4 mile blast was encouraging with a 10.98...we'll see...

It may be a good deal, but what did someone else run with that head and cam package?
You get what you pay for!
