Um yeah, this intake kicks ass!
Hoping for 8s to give you guys an idea on my goals for it. Considering my stock short block & stock 4l60e had 9s in it, I gotta say, I'll be pretty disapointed if I dish out all this money and don't go a second faster. It should last longer than my other set-up though so I guess that also justafies the $$$$$$
Tranny will be a th400.
One thing to keep in mind is that the reset of the car will need some serious tweeking to handle all that extra power the motor and S/C will produce. I have seen and heard about several people that have upgraded their motor and/or FI system without doing anything else to the car and it ends up running slower!!!

The combo can easily produce a 1000 rwhp. Some people have made some serious power using a stock PCM, but it took a huge amount of tuning and a lot of knowledge. Personally risk the motor trying to push a stock PCM over 800 rwhp.As far as other tweeks, I was think about the suspension, transmission setup, tires, and so forth. There are people that have hit the 8s with stock style suspension, but it has taken a lot of time and knowledge to set things up. Remember.... the faster you go, the more it costs per MPH and it increases
exponentially.

The car wasn't exactly slow before. 10.1 @ 138. The susspension should be good, extreme everything, hals on all 4, bogarts with 28" qtps, a spooled 12 bolt, th400 made for 1200 to the wheels. Ton's of weight reduction. I think I covered all the basics. 12 bolt may have become the weak link but it helps that it's spooled, should hold pretty good.
Could you explain this a bit please? Why should PCM have problems? I'm shooting for 850whp so would be good to know
Thats a big leap for sure, stock block and D1 to LSX and F2. Should be really sick once its dialed in.
Ohh btw, thats a very nice intake. Wroth more than some peoples engine's, LOL

2) Getting the correct A/F ratio at WOT is a harder. If you go with a MAF setup, the MAFs alway max out way before peak RPMs are reach. You have to slow set the PE multipler cell by cell once the MAF is maxxed. SD tuning is a bit easier if and only if you have the VE tables correctly. Since each car( other than stock ) is setup slightly different you have to manually adjust and modify the VE tables so that they are correct.
There are many other examples, but those are two big ones. Remember the stock PCM was really intended for cars up to about 405ish rwhp, which is the C5 ZO6. Aftermarket controllers like the Big Stuff 3 do not the limitations of the stock PCMs, so tuning and setting up a car is much easier.
