Well first off drivability/streetability is very dependent on your tuning. It should make in the neighborhood 390-415rwhp. You might have to valve notch the pistons to clear the T-rex cam. Some people have to some dont. It should be a fun setup.

As for finding parts there are a ton of T-rex cams for sale and quite a few sets of 243s. Good luck Im sure you will enjoy the setup.

With a good port job and maybe some milling on the heads to bump the compression up I dont see why you couldnt make those numbers. There are a lot of variables so dont get hung up on numbers. Its all about how it runs down the track Just make sure you clay the piston to valve clearance!!!

A FAST would help Im sure. But with just a cam and stock 243s I think that $1000 could be better spent elsewhere like some REALLY good tuning and other bolt-ons.

I would guess 400 - 420 max man. Stock TB, LS6, and 243's aren't helping you out. The intake and heads mind you are a vast improvement but, 430's on a setup like that would be hard. Let me know. You're in Bartlesville right?

373's will lower your uotput to the ground. I do forget you are a Cali boy.LOL There is a guy in town here that has a name simialar to yours. This is my first post in half a year on here. LOL Your Auto will be a factor also. I say don't worry about the RWHP #'s though I do it too.lol I assume you have a stall.....what size? That too is a huge rwhp parasite.
As for other ideas....aything short of N2O I have none that will get you there in your budget bro.

IDK man..IDK too much about that setup.

Regardless, IDK any reputable GM tuner in town. I know of a few that will tune them, but I wouldn't let them tune my lawnmower.

My two cents?......do your research on a GOOD tuner first.

I haven't been man. I just been so ******* disgusted with racing and wrenching, I put it down. Everything to do with it! I even screwed a good buddy time wise because I couldn't find it in me to finish his engine. Feel terrible about that but, man I had enough. The Hell Blazer project took it out of me.LOL Gotta score a compressor. Building **** without air tools sucks worse than gay ****.
Biggest thing, would be your whole upper end IMO. The LS6 being your best piece. Remeber your gears and stall are cannibles bro. I know you've heard it before but, what you gain in st8 line performance is far better than any rwhp # that you lose.


Hey Pony, I miss your blow jobs.
