Default Plans for new setup

Im working on my setup right now, until i can get the money to get the one i really want. right now im running a stock bottom LS1 with 228R-112 cam, pacesetter lt's, ls6 intake, p&p stock truck dbw throttlebody, underdrive pulley. im going to futral the 20th for a dyno tune and soon after will be installing my milled .010 243's with .040 cometics which should net me 11.15:1 - 11.22:1 CR and gain some power. there after i will start on the savings plan for new heads and intake! i plan on running the new TFS 215's 59cc with .040 cometics and a Vengance ported Fast 92 with a Ported LS2 throttlebody, and adding an EWP! Im hoping too put down around 460 through the 4L60E with 3800 stall and 4.11's. I may have to step up to the 1 7/8 headers also. but im keeping the 228r cam in! This winter i would like to see high 11's or low low 12's with my current setup including the 243's and im hoping to be in the mid to low 11's with the new setup maybe next year. Right now in the summer heat i run consistant 12.70 - 12.73 in 2700' DA with the 20's on the front and not using the shortbelt, but have dipped into the 12.6x's. this is all with a mail order tune from nelson performance and no O2 sensors because they went out. Weighing in @ approx. 3900 - 4000#

I was wondering why your times were so slow until I saw what that mill is propelling! Sounds like a nice setup, I'm about to pull the trigger on a 228 cam and some heads.
BTW, like your handle. We sell Regency Topkicks
