2 questions. what manifold are you running? and im guessing you are running a msd 6010?

Running Gmpp intake and yes 6010 msd box. Should be fun ride you will enjoy when your done. I've had a blast these past few months pushing past my expectations with this setup.

What's crazy in another guy that races in the same series had a stroked ls1 and granaded it at 8500. Proving the potential of the 5.3.

Has Adj uppers with UPR bushings and tubular lowers with Eibach drag springs and monroe factory shocks. The car has a lot more in it with just tuning the suspension.

not sure if it was mentioned, but i have a couple of questions:

what does the car weight?

what stall speed?

did you have to flycut pistons or just put the cam in?

what heads?

what does it run on motor?

thanks in advance!

Funny thing about selling a car. The build thread just generally tends to die//////
