Maximize H & C output Once you install a set of Heads and a big lift cam what little mods can you do to extract every last horsepower? Ported TB? Fix PCV?

Re: Maximize H & C output The practical stuff:
Headers (preferably long tube)
Off Road Pipe (remove cats / muffler) OR
Cut-Out (12" behind LT collector)
LS6 Intake (if you don't already have it)
Ported Throttle Body
Underdrive Pulley
LS1 Edit Dyno Tune
Intake Lid
The not-so-practical stuff:
Electric Water Pump
NOS Kit <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
There is other stuff that you can do, but I only listed the stuff that I would do (or at least everything I can think of right now that I would do <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> )
