I've been taking baby steps over time with this car haha, I'll probably get bored with 400 eventually and then go for 500! I think my goal is to have a nice streetable 10 second car.

No, I never got into the specifics of what he recommended for lifters. Hell, I run stock lifters on my setup and it's seen plenty of high RPM usage and it's never skipped a beat. I'd say LS7 lifters will work just fine as long as you use good oil and change it regularly.

I thought about it, but the dollar per HP on that is kind of poor in my opinion 
Maybe if I find a deal on a 102 combo I'd consider it.
I agree, I was surprised it made 360 with just headers/intake on that dyno. I can't wait to take it to the track! I trapped 115 with bolt ons so I'm hoping to be at least in the 120 range, maybe 125?

Roller rockers imo....with the psi springs and valvetrain is good to go.

The only thing is that it seems like spending a grand on a fast 102/102 for 20 horsepower isn't very worth it Granted I could sell my LS6 for 400 bucks or so (maybe 450-500 complete) which would help recoup some money. My motor only has 40k miles on it so I think turning 7k a few times it'll be fine I'm not looking forward to buying a new clutch or rear haha, both are stock and probably won't last that long

My setup is begging for a better intake and TB, but it's a lot of money. Part of me wants to do it, but part of me wants to just continue to save for a D1SC Procharger setup.

You may as well put a new clutch in your budget. The clutches were junk when new in these cars. You may as well change it now. First you'll start getting locked out of some gears. ......missing 4th....then 3rd. By then you will need to get the trans fixed. Don't be afraid to drop some coin on a good clutch and get Something nice and light.
If you don't you'll be fixing the trans when you do a clutch.

I was able to get into high 12s at 115 when it was about 90* out with a poor 2.2ish 60'. I was happy to see I picked up 5 mph in the 8th trapping 90 but I was only crossing the 1320 at like 6400 in 3rd.

I have the graph and time slip I guess that isn't too bad but I need to actually put tire on the car and get it to hook so I can see where I'm at. I might try short shifting into 4th next time to see if I can get the car to go a little faster since I make more torque a little lower in the power band. I think even with 3.42 gears (which are probably hurting my times) I can trap a little faster.

Yeah a clutch is on the list for sure. I was thinking about going either McLeod RS/X-T or Monster LT1-S but I'm not sure if they will work with my tick master. I noticed when I went to the track Friday that I had to wait a moment to put the car in third at 6700 rpm, I guess to let the rpm come down a little. The car needs gears for sure, and some tire I was able to get into high 12s at 115 when it was about 90* out with a poor 2.2ish 60'. I was happy to see I picked up 5 mph in the 8th trapping 90 but I was only crossing the 1320 at like 6400 in 3rd.
