Hi. Well like I said, I want to daily drive the car, make it last, and keep it VERY streetable... I am going to stick with natural aspiration, just looking for the edge over the stock LS7...

Put a blower, turbo, or nitrous on it if you want more without compromising driveability. Mine is an LS7 short block with a YSi blower. I use a very mild cam (214-224) for driveability and the blower to extend the power when you get into it, the best of both worlds.

I would like to add-on whatever I can to this engine to make it most powerful while keeping it VERY streetable... So simple answers, what does everyone suggest?
Well, looks like they have done one... would have been nice to know that up front. For your application, IMO, leave the motor alone... simple enough?

Good Luck... should be one sweet ride when its done. Come on over to Performancetrucks.net when its done and tell us all about it.
