you have it, might as well run it and see where you are. Generally when manufacturers put a package together like that they have specific goals in mind, i.E. xxxHP while maintaining decent driveability, etc...as long as their goals match yours you should be OK.

Hey guy's I just purchased my 02' SS and was wondering about the same kit like smokeyrider05. I saw it in the summit racing magazine and was thinking about doing this package later on down the road. So you guys recommend it?

Hopefully next Saturday & I will get it on vid as well, just running on a street tune for now.. The shop where I'm doing the tunning should have their new dyno up & going by then, will keep you guys posted.

Hey MM98 pm me the results after you get your car dynoed, Glad to hear your happy with yours. As you know I will be switching tfs cams later on because of the d1sc I just purchased.
11's no problem with that cam. I got a car in the 10.90's with that similar grind. 228/232 to be exact.

That setup should definately get you in the 11's with a good tune. And that is a nice "power under the curve" cam which should be great for the street. I don't see an intake on your mod list, I would try to at least come up with an LS6 intake before install time.
You also should have a stall. I'd go for a 3200 Vig.
