sounds good, now get that bumper cover fixed! FWIW I would do the cam and stall 1st, then the FAST 90 and TB setup should you have enough left over, if you have to wait on the FAST, go with the LS6 intake. You can buy and sell them all day long for 300-325, so you will get your money out of it if you ever go to a FAST.

short-term you could drill two small holes and zip tie it. However I would just have a bodyshop check it out. You can probably find a good take-off locally on the cheap as well and have painted to match.

Good to hear you got her on the dyno, it made about what I expected it to. Make sure to check the part #s on your intake against the ones I posted to make sure you don't already have the LS6.

Did you say you spun the tires from a 70mph roll? I thought that took major power.

Ill look tomorrow but the guy i got it from has an LS6 intake, some heads and a cam and he wants the parts for my truck that he has now so think we may trade out which would make me pretty happy...and yes yes it did spin from 70....not much just i heard and felt it spin then hooked and took off.
