Anyone read Flowers for Algernon.

Okay, I think a 218/114 cam is not too noticeable, especially with a 900 idle. Anything bigger I can notice immediately.

I cant believe your dad would buy you a race car and tell you not to race it. Oh and www.dictionary.com helps out a lot.

Hey PSJ i read that book. Man i cant believe anyones dad would buy them a car period. My dad wont even give me lunch money. Thats alright though working 5 days a week as a waiter pays pretty good when your 18 and can get a car running pretty good. But just go with a TNT 100 shot if you want something no one would notice. And stick it where the spare tire is. It will only cost about 500 bucks and where else can you get that much HP for that much. The best thing you can get for 500 bucks would be a cam but then you need to install it and get install parts and will run you more like 700. Keep watching the classifieds on this site for the TNT kit. I dont run nitrous but from what i have heard it puts out more power for some reason.

Does anyone know where I can get a set of complete stock LS6 heads (I figured I would get the porting done later)

SDPC, a sponsor of these page, sells stock LS6 heads for about $600 each. They do not have valves and springs, however. The ported LS6 heads with springs and valves are about $1,000 per head but each head is milled 055.

Nah I dont want them milled, I figured I could just go with the stock LS6 heads, and stock ZO6 valve train, with a set of the 1.8 roller rockers. Plus I would have the little stuff like a lid, filter, pullies, throttle body, maf, and shorty headers and have close to 400hp (maybe). Then the rest would be looks and handling. Whats everybodys 2 cents on that. (and tell me some other "non noticeable" parts.
