Hey, I was looking at that same setup for my Z!

Is it worth that much money that you paid for it? Let me know how that Dyno turns out, you've got exactly the setup I want.

Mostly concerned about highway gas mileage with that size cam however. We've got similar car but I'm not stalled (yet).

I wonder what the HP/TQR will be as well.

I have the TV2 and the PRC LS6 heads. With a good tune, I only lost a a few miles per gallon on the highway. Around town, its all about how you drive it that seems to mostly affect mileage. I am a 6 speed though, so with a stalled auto, you might notice a larger drop.

And yeah, this thing pulls like MAD when you get on it! I love it

Not sure yet. I got the car tuned and not two days later it started snowing and the weather has been awful since...Might be a few weeks before I get it on the rollers. My tuner (who has tuned MANY head cam LS1's) thinks about 430...
