If you just want the lope pull one of your plug wires
Just to let you know the ls1 stock doesn't make peak tq until like 4500 anyways. And I am going to get my 3.42s put in this weekend.

so your saying there is a plug n play and a sniffer test? In tx all i have to worry about is the plug n play, they don't put anything in my tailpipes. So i could go with a bigger cam right?

I am going to do the XER/ 220/561@112 or 114 along with my Yank 3500 & 323 gears. You sacrifice "nothing" with this set up. Perfect for my daily driver and ought to be around 370 or better to the wheels.
What do you guys think? Anyone running( have ran ) this combo?

Hey when I go in for emmisions testing nothing gets put in my tailpipe. All they do is plug the computer in unfer the dash. So doesn't that mean that I don't have to worry about the sniffer?

With that cam you sacrifice the torque and hp you could have had with a 224, which will still pass emissions and live with your daily driver.
