Yeah Paint it Black is right.. I mean it sucks that TSP helps so many people and is active on the site.... I mean selling budget parts that perform, what where they thinking....
Bottom line man customer service goes a long way...
Thanks TSP will be doing some business with you soon hopefully!

Wow, you put down 480hp with a 228/232 cam and some milled and portrd LS6 heads? I think thats a little high unless you mean crank hp. I put down 402 rwhp with TSP 5.3 heads, a little 224 cam, and stock intake through a auto, which is around 500 crank hp so I guess their stuff isnt too bad.

I'll keep you updated if you're interested in something around say.. LSX shootout 2009. If you put your off the shelf CNC'd heads and a cam you sell on your site together in a H/C combo, I'd be more than happy to line up and put it on video tape, of what a "Big Bad Shop Car" does vs something a guy threw together in his garage over the winter

What is a better head for what I am wanting to do? LS6s or 5.3s? The couple hundred dollar difference doesn't mean too much to me. I love the torquer v3 cam based on what I've read/heard.. is it going to have enough power out of the hole? I just don't want to blow up the stock shortblock looking for more rpm for the cam

We'll see! My car is no longer going to be a street car by any means (solid roller, ported carb intake, best 243's you can buy, 2800lb car), so I'm trying to enjoy the rest of the summer for now, but I'll take a heads up race vs the cars I mentioned.

that does not speak to highly with respect to your abilty or knowledge about building cars or tuning...if they keep coming apart or popping head gaskets...your lacking in many areas...
in my area they call people like you HACKS
QUOTE=Paint_It_Black;9873843]I'm not concerned. I've rebuilt whatever car I had almost every year since I was 19. Did my cam in 06, my heads/intake in 07, enjoy it in 08, forge it and go high end in 09. I used to rebuild my GN in some form or another WAY too often. I could change a head gasket in a couple hours[/QUOTE]

:paint it black: Not everyone is rich in this world and need to look for the "best bang for the buck" TSP did great for me, even lowered the prices on some stuff cause i bought so much. I wouldn't put them down at all, if you don't have anything productive to say on this site....why use it at all..not helping anyone here...

and I'd win easily..
build starts as soon as the first snowflake hits the ground. The heads going on are much better than anything TSP sells, and the cam is actually matched to the heads, but I digress.. you guys can all get back in your circle jerk and praise w/e the site is pushing this month!

You haven't even torn down your engine and it's ALREADY faster than anything TSP can sell?
Guys I think we found the next Ms. Cleo, cause this dude can seeeee tha future!
