Heads and cam dilemna ok ok, so i have a 1999 Camaro Z28, its currently getting a Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch, and a Ram Lightened Flywheel, it already has headers (Pacesetter LTs), catback (SLP Loudmouth II), SLP intake Lid, SLP cold air kit, and a Short throw. I am in the process of ordering a set of Torque Thrusts IIs with 315s on back, i am currently riding on some Y2k corvette wheels with 275s in back. I am runnign 13.0s with 2.29 60 foots @ 109 mph. I plan on boosting it sometime in the future, turbos, two of em. MY question to you guys is reccomendations on heads and cam. and do you think i would need to go ahead adn purchase a new intake manifold, like a 90 mm with TB? I know that the centerforce clutch should hold 550 crank horses so i think it should be ok....for now. so anyways, suggestions?

Ok, so you want 11's, you can do that pretty easily with a good heads cam setup. The problem for you is how far down the road to you plan to turbo?

A camshaft around 224ish with a lsa around 115 would be a good start.

I'd do the basic bolt on stuff first and take some time to figure out:
A) What you can afford to spend on the project
B) What is the best way to spend the money.
C) Learn about what is out there.
D) Make sure turbo's are really want you want to do and that it fits your budget.
If your drag racing, that light weight flywheel might not be such a good thing.

If you are planning on making decent power.... rethink that centerforce DF. Ive got one and it loses a bit of pressure after racing (was sticking REALLY bad before drill mod / heat wrapping). And that is with only a few boltons.
