Default TSP stage 2.5 H/C kit

Hey guys.

I have a '99 SS that I am going to start modifying. Car is stock right now with the exception on a lid.

I just ordered an LS6 intake and a P/P TB. I will soon be ordering pacesetter LT's and a TSP true dual kit.

I am thinking of getting the TSP stage 2.5 kit with the 228r cam. I will also purchase the rollmaster timing chain and ported LS6 oil pump with the kit. Would this work well with my setup?

Also, this car might have to be my daily driver for awhile, will this kit still maintain it's drivbility?

I think 430 RWHP is a very realistic goal with this setup, yes?

thanks for all the input.

430 seems a little high for an a4, I ordered the same kit but with a ms3 and am expecting around 425rwhp on motor

are you talking about the stage 2.5 5.3l heads?

yoou should be a little over 400 and drivability is all in the tune

Sounds like your headed in the right direction, I have the 228R on a 112LSA and it drives and sounds great. Just get a good tune and you wont have any problems.

Check that section of the forums. You might find a lot of information on setups to give you a closer estimate.
