Default Opinions on my Setup

Comp 228/230 571/573 112+4 LSA
Patriot Performance Stage 2 ls6 style heads (hand finished)
Vig 3600 Multi disc converter
TnT F1 Kit (100 and 150 shots)

Plus all bolt ons


Does all this stuff compliment each other well? Any suggestions on something better.

With a good tune should this be ok for a daily driver setup or should I go w/ a smaller cam.

You can thow in some et and hp guesses if you like..

I hope to run low 11's motor and low 10's w/ a 150 shot. Possible?

As of now I run 12.5@114 motor and 11.5 @ 125 (100 shot)

Im mostly interested in the opinions on the DD ability of this setup.

thanks

you'll be fine, performance gains will be very noticeable. I went from 351/360 to 419/408 with h/c setup. I am swapping out PP for AFR's, then will dyno again.

That set up should do well with a good tune. should be right around the times you are looking for as well, as long as traction is good.

I have a set of et street and m/t drag radials so I should be able to hook if the rear end doesnt go

I know I need a 12 bolt but if its not broke why fix it

Actually If i had the extra money I would have but I have internals ready to go in. If it breaks Ill put a 12 bolt on the CC..

I have 2 seperate tunes for now. I plan to make a timing retard setup for the nitrous and Since I have a wideband i should be able to tune the nitrous jets a little rich so I can run 13.0 n/a and then be ok with nitrous. I have tr6 plugs already.

Sounds like a pretty formidable setup. Good luck with it, and keep us posted on some track times, or dyno results!
