Cool. 11's shouldn't be a problem with a tire.

What intake manifold are you gonna use with the 90mm TB?

I dunno, call them. Proffesional Products. Want there number?

I use a FAST, and I use FAST fuel rails. The driverside, does come in direct contact with my firewall..... which now, has a hole in it...to give some extra clearance.

I don't know what the typhoon issues are, I just know, for the most part, it even says it on the side of there boxes...it will not work on a Y body. It's not the LSx issue...it's a platform issue.

Why would you want to put an intake on that is going to cause heat soak? looking at your mods your stock LS6 is more than enough.

The LS6 is more than what you need for a stock motor bro. The PP is just gonna add heat soak.

Installed my vara ram and it pulls like a fricken animal on the big end. I was driving the **** out of it for the first time with my headers and vram and i looked down and i thought the speedo was broke cause at 80 it was falling like my bank account balance since i started modding! A++ for the vara ram....would recommend it to anyone. AWESOME PIECE!
