What injectors are you going to use? If you're going to use LS1 style injectors, I have a set of katech spacers that I'll give ya. One of the spacers is a little marred up because the bolt got stuck in the intake, but it will still function perfectly. You'll then just need to get replacement o-rings.

Just let me know.

Of course that circular rubber pattern on the pavement was nothing to do with you was it ?

You honestly will not reach that without a nice sheet metal intake. Been there done that with overshooting my goals haha. I would bet 600 rwhp in your setup is more like it. But we'll see! Are you thinking about getting the new FAST LS7 102mm with the 102mm big mouth throttlebody? You might see an increase of ~ 30rwhp/trq across the board on that setup!

Down the road I'll probably get one. But in reality I'll be happy with 600. Hell, 500 is more than enough for a daily driver. I've got more plans for the car than big power.

Who needs realistic goals? anyway...

600 rwhp is very doable with a six speed. I'm at 580 and that was the break in tune. The motor is seasoned now and I've added a electric waterpump,vacuum pump and soon we will be doing a SD tune on it. The car is pretty fun where its at but the power bug is allways under my skin.
Of course this is n/a and on nitrous who knows....?
