Have you ever considered installing a GZ vacuum pump on your car? I'm willing to say you'll gain 30 horse at the tire.

I since some sarcasm in that post.

RHS does make small bore LS7 heads that are designed for the 346ci LS1.

Yeah, there's a point where the bigger square port heads just aren't going to do what they do on a smaller cubic inch engine. I'll take an effective and efficient designed aftermarket cathedral head any day of the week.

Yeah I thought that dudes comment wwas funny also.

I actually did think about a gz kit for awhile this year researched it quite a bit but after I bought some of the other stuff I did it juss wasn't in the budget for this year. Theres still quit a few small things I could do to pick up power like the vacuum pump idea or higher compression and switching to e85. Also thought about a 100 shot also juss some ideas I have for this winter I need to dial in my suspension a little better this fall and see where it takes me. Ill have it at lsfest also if any of you guys are going there.
