Almost forgot, I really need to find the guy who sold me this car. when I had the rear O2's deleted, found out the ignition timing had been programmed at 36 degrees. Not a genius here but that might have something to do with lifters or valves, and most likely cause of dead cylinder.

as a completely general question, would you (everyone) rather have milled heads for higher compression but ot so big of a cam......or have unmilled LS6 heads and be able to have a bigger cam?? What will be better for power, driveability, ET's, etc....

Plus, I've sold nearly everything that I took off my car, minus stock heads and cam. Just choose your parts wisely so your not buying things twice. Good luck on your journy to 450rwhp.
you will reach 450 with elf fuel or similar lightweight fuels for the dragstrip if need be,thats what the smarter players do at the race tracks
some even run methanol to make em look like a champion.

Looks like you and me have similar setups. It would be fun to run you.
