Suggested HP/TQ numbers Thought I would give you guys a run down on my set up and see if any of you could let me know what you think I might put down. This is my setup as it sits with more to come in the future.
00 LS1 Block, stock with ARP rod bolts.
-03' 6.0 Oil pump
-AC delete
-EGR delete
Ported MAF/TB
Custom cold air intake
Comp Cams 221/227 @ .050 and 561/569 lift on a 114LSA.
00 LS1 Heads, Pro hand ported to Stage 3 maxed.
-Stock Valves
-Comp 918 springs
-Titanuim retainers
-Comp chrom 7.4 pushrods
-ARP Head bolts
Ceramic Coated 02' Manifolds, Hand ported to match the heads.
-Custom 2.5" y-pipe
-Stock '91 catback exhaust
A4 Trans
I know the exhaust is holding it back a lot. Once I get some long tubes on there I will get the exhaust done, along with some other things. What do you think for at the moment? Thanks a lot for any input, I appriciate it.

why are you porting the hell out of the heads just so use stock valves?
just get a set of stage 2 heads and a bigger cam 224-228 range...
also what CR did you want?
and why coat and port the crappy *** manafolds if you plan to run LT's? dont waste your time... just get the LT's and abigger cam and some real heads....
i would also use an LS6 manafold....
also why are you useind 2.5'' pipes and a stock muffler? go 3'' and run a good cat-back!
if your wanting more power at least to it right.

Thanks guys, for the input.
None of this is a perminant setup, which is why I was looking for input.
What valves would you suggest?
I didnt coat the manifolds, they were pretty much given to me already coated, I just ported them to match the heads. The reason I went the rout I did was, the manifolds were pretty much free, when I swapped this motor into my 3rd gen, there was no LT's or Shorties or Y-Pipes or exhausts to fit it. All that has to be custom built, which is in the process, but I dont want my car just sitting while its all being done. I dont have the money to do everything at once. The car needed to get running and be tuned in so I knew what else I wanted to do.
The MAF I also didnt port, it came like that when I bought it. And I take back the ported TB, its only polished.
