<img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Hit the lottery ??? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

List looks good.....with a few changes <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

1) TEA 5.3/LS6 or your preference heads(a must have for a max effort IMO. Based on your mods list....you seem serious about a lil' more power <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

2) Jwis timing chain(better unit than stock GM)

3) Cloyes HexAdjust gear set (Dial in your cam <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

4) CC "R" roller lifters(while you're in there)

5) Adjustable BMR LCA's(not a must but convenient)

6) 28" SLICK( a must w/4.30's IMO)

7) Line Lock(not a must but convenient)

8) <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> Futral Motorsports LS1 Edit

9) Bottle heater

10) Remote bottle opener(yer call)

I'll go out on a limb and look for 450 + rwhp/ 430ish rwtq NA........

Spray.....how big a shot?.....550 rwhp/538 rwtq

1.40 60'/10.20/136........ or spray a 200 shot outa' the hole, and don't lift til you see the face of GOD <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

****Disclaimer**** Of course.....these are only my opinions and I'm still chasin' the big boys <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> .....so take them w/a grain of salt.

I didn't list heads because the car will have enough power just from the cam and bolt-ons. If I need more there would always be the nitrous. I will check into the timing chain and roller lifters.

Hes right. Plus if you are spending that much money, you might as well get some good flowing heads while you're at it and maybe a forged bottom end. Other than that, looks good. im jealous <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />
