Also, I wouldn't change the LSA. Probably whatever you're thinking was tried in a test car when the TRex was being developed.

That's going to ruin the Corvette. IMO, big stupid cams and loud exhausts ruin the Y-body. I had a big cam and loud *** exhaust in my old C5, and I think it was the wrong "style" for a Vette if you get my drift. Granted, the cam-only put down 415 rwhp through a stock TB, LS6 intake, and no underdrive pulley and heads/cam put down 471 rwhp, but it would be like putting whorish clothes on a classy chick.
With that cam, you're going to make complete **** low-end and need at least a 4.10 gear.

**** it. I am going to get the T-rex and run it with my stock gears. I have a ms3 now and it seems kinda mild to me. Thanks for the help though guys. The T-rex will make more power under the curve from what I have heard.

The T-Rex on stock gearing would be fairly sluggish down low, but A properly tuned T-Rex + 3.90s on a 3200lb car will be xtremely fast.

Whats the point of getting a vette if your gonna drive it like your having a mid life crisis?
Unless you prefer more tq down low, why not
look man, i agree...the t rex can be streetable; it's all in the tune. but what was said above is also correct..it's going to be sluggish down low..especially w/ stock gears. hell mine was sluggish even w/ 4.10s. go the extra mile, put 4.30s in your vette and it will be one bad mother. there is a world of difference between the ms3 and t rex.
