take off the caps <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Im not a fan of SLP but if you like their stuff, go for it.

If you are getting LCA's you should get the relocation brktts specially if yourt car is lowered.

If your hoping for high 11's...i think your going to need more than that <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />

The LS6 intake in another thing that isnt cheap, and doesnt give much power for a internally stock engine. (throw a cam in and then its worht the $$ <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ) The shorties are a complete waste of money.go with some LT's. In some cases i have seen NO gains with shorty headers.
hope that helps.

Great Ideas IMO. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

The thing that I would worry about the most with your build up is blowing up the rear end. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

You would have to come out of the whole very soft to save the rear end. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

If I had to do it all over again with a M6 Hot Rod, I would do rear end, real good clutch, a good air lid and pair of the new thunder racing headers. Top it all off with some 28 inch front runners and 28 inch slicks. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

I believe that this combo would get you the time you are striving for. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

Good luck to ya. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />
