Oh and a dyno tune for sure. Just saw you had a mail order tune, those suck in most cases, get a real tune and thats another 10-20

with those cubes I would go with a 2" header or at minimum a 1 7/8-2" stepped. Dont think you can put too big a header on a LSx motor myself. 2" header with 3.5" collector and dumps would probably get you 2-3mph or 20+whp

IMO if you swapped to a fast 102 (20whp) or ideally a single plane and 4150TB (30whp) you would easily make your goal

He nailed it, use the LSX intake and the larger headers and you'll net over 50+!
