I’m trying to do things once and know I didn’t leave anything on the table. If I can swing it like I should be able too I want to go aftermarket and get as much as I can. Thinking about getting the 102 and selling my fast 90 also.
Yep I hear that. I myself have two schools of thought on this. One is spend the extra amount and buy top dollar heads, or two take that extra grand you'll save, buy some 243's or whatever, buy a nitrous kit and absolutely demolish the high dollar head setup. No wrong answer answer either way

I hear you. I’ve always leaned towards option 2 as I’m always on a budget. I may one time be able to spend on a great set of heads for once. Another problem is I’ve bought specific parts designed for NA, like my pt4400 stall, designed for NA track stuff, not a good FI stall, so I’ve picked a lane. Gonna ride it till it ends lol.

My tuner just had a h/c/I Ls1 that put down 470 whp through a A4/ locked converter.
- BTR stg. 3 cam
- PRC 243's
- MSD intake
(Don't know the rest of the car specs)
With my current H/C setup I went from a Ls6 to the msd and it pulls a ton harder in the higher rpms. I spun the Ls6 intake to 6700 rpm's and now I'm spinning the msd to 7000 rpm's.

Yeah it’s not the stall size it’s the actual pt series of stalls from yank. They state outright that they are only for NA track cars. Blow though on them is huge. The SS series or a stall designed for nitrous would be way better.

If you end up going with a 102, take a look at the MSD intake. I love mine.

I’ll take a look. Don’t know much about that intake. Only ever seen it online, never in person.
I see. Yeah you are definitely stuck n/a then. I can see why you want to maximize this route.
