Here are your choices:
-SLP
-GTP/thunder racing
-CNC/thunder racing
-MTI
-HPS
-ARE
and others I can't remember right now. I'm interested in the SLP's, I wanna stay w/ the SLP
name or otherwise convince me the "other" is better. Throw some hp numbers too!

The SLP look very promising for the very low cost. MTI/GTP will give you more power for more money.

GTP/ Thunder , no better combination out there. Just do a search in this section and you will see the results. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I agree it's gone, but it will STILL be 2-5 years before we see real good pricing. Many of us are just NOW starting to do cams/heads/whole engines because the motor is only 4 years old ( at most ).
My $.02
Oh, BTW, JPR has great pricing on H/C setups.

The F-body is gone, but the LS1 engine is still used in the base Vette and will be in the GTO. So that should offset the drop in demand at least a LITTLE bit. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Guess what folks....the LS1 F-body is officially gone....I'm guessing prices for these types of things should start falling, because competition to sell will only increase very soon. There is a finite number of LS1 cars out there. Just my two cents.

check out Andy's Auto
for stage 2 heads and cam it is 3500$ installed.
He's got great service and great prices. FWIW I talked to a guy with a set of Andy's Auto Stage 2 heads and cam and he pulled 420 RWHP with no tuning. CAm was a 227/227 I think

<strong>What are the rwhp numbers for the SLP package?</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The numbers for the SLP package are sorry for what you pay: $2600 plus core
I called and asked about their package, SLP stated usually their stuff dyno'd 370 to 380 rwhp in a M6 w/long tubes etc.
For the money TEA is the best deal, 420 to 430+ with proper bolt on's
I've been following this stuff for 4 years and TEA's Stage 2 heads and cam package are the best deal I've seen for the power you get. Some might even feel TEA stuff is as good as the very best but only dyno test back to back with other heads could really put that to the test. GTP and MTI are most excellent as well only negative is the high price. If you have the $$$$ to spend get consider MTI and having MTI do the install to get a warranty.
This isn't just hot air, I put my $$$ where my mouth is - I bought TEA's Stage 2 heads.
