ls6 intake manifold ($525) green top 42# injectors ($400) ported throttle body/remove screen ($100) stage 8 header bolts ($75) I think you are over paying on that stuff!! also I don't think you need that big injectors!! and a ls6 intake for 525 does it comes with heads??

no i just over priced everything lol
like even if i found it for 50 bucks cheaper
so i dont run out of cash trying to get everything

better to over compinsate then under compinsate.
and i plan on getting the ls6 manifold second head, if i can find ls6 heads ill probably grab them but i heard they arent to much better. like 12cfm more than ls1 heads. so ill porbably keep the ls1's and port/mill them cheaper and more horsepower!

anyway so the header bolts are just security to me. rather have them then leaking headers.

and injector wise what would you say to go with?
i plan on a 125 DRY shot and dont want to run out.
would the red top 30#'s work good?

its going to be a daily driver (250+ miles a week)

volant CAI
ported stock thortle body
ls6 intake manifold
TSP long tubes w/ 3" x pipe
borla staight pipes (no cats.)
stage 8 header bolts
msd 8.5mm wires
SFI underdrive pulley kit (2pc.)
manual fan switch, or get the fans tuned for 175*
ls6 cam(me and a buddy will install..so 15hp for 100 bcusk it easy) unless theres another mild cam without a super nasty idle???
ls2 or ls6 heads
meth injection (only bc its hot in so cal. and lowe intake temps is always good...plus 91 oct. gas is gay so maybe help bump octane)


textralia oz700 z grip clutch kit w/ steel flywheel
drill mod
hurst short throw

3.90 gears

i definetely want to stay n/a
and dont want some idle monster lol. i know it will be different i just want it refined a little...
anyway guys plz let me know if theres better/needed or un-needed parts..
also oil coolers? when should i get one because its gonna be a daily around town/highway car. i dont think i would need one..???


im looking at 375whp as a goal. but if i can change a few things and pull 400 then plz let me know

and yes no cats for cali i got a guy who smogs my cars
First off I'd do the shocks if your still running stockers. they are good till about 40K miles.(Bilstein, KYB or Edlebrock) Then I would do a fuel pump, stock is good till about 450 ish rwhp and if you think your stopping at 400 hp ur kidding your self. 42# injectors are fine. I'd do some braided break lines also, they will help you stop a lot harder. Other than those little thing ur list looks good. I my self did an 90MM conversion but that was personal choice but i find a lot more stuff than for 78mm
