Default Will this be nasty or what?

My current set-up has me running a best of 11.93 at 113 (1.64 60ft).
This includes FLP's (no cats), 3:73's, Borla (no plate), ET Streets, YANK ST3500, Pullies, GMAF, FTRA, All free mods, MAFT, LS1-Edit tuning, some suspension stuff, removed front & rear seats and a few other small things (All Bolt-Ons except JPR waterpump).
Race weight was 3675lbs!

Going in
GTP S2 heads and cam (226/226/590 112 LSA) and SLP Double Roller timing chain.
Still running stock rear with T/A girdle & Stud kit. Been through 3 torsens already, 4th also going in. I will just keep replacing torsens until I can afford a 12-bolt.

My last Dyno was pretty weak 325rwhp/375rwtq
Hoping won't have idle issues with LS1-Edit.

Thoughts????
Still runn

Hey Ron, that's going to be awesome.

Better save a little $$ for a cage. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Do you think I'll finally make 400rwhp LOL.....
Ya, a cage and a 12-bolt are definites. But they will have to wait till next season <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
So until then I'll have to take it easy at the tracks until the last run of the night I guess

You'll like that cam! I had the same one for awhile (before I blew the car up). The idle will probably take some work to get where it needs to be, but it isn't really too bad.

It made some great upper RPM power with my old GTP heads.

Good thing Jason has A/C because you are going to need it.

Are the GTP heads 5.3 truck heads? You know what happended when Jason installed a similar package in Moose's car:

Nothing bad that I know of - unless you consider 125mph in the 1/4 mile bad, LOL.....

Are you guys using the 918 springs?

BTW: If you don't mind me asking how much did the SLP timing chain run you?

Well I made my goal of 11's with bolt-ons without ripping the car apart to save weight so this was the next step.
