Default New to ls1 tech

Morning!

I am New to ls1 tech, actually been a mustang owner until recently buying a c5 vette. Very impressed with the power and etc.

Very interested in making more power, any help would greatly be appreciated, recently bought callaway intake, magna flow exhaust. Have on order texas speed long tubes and x pipe, just managed to buy a set of 243 heads with yellow springs, that have been ported, polished, and milled 0.020


Not sure if I am headed down the right path. Also from the houston area of any of the members are from here lmk. Looking to hook up and see how the builds are

welcome!
i can already tell you're gonna sink some serious money into this
i think i had bolt-ons and nitrous on my ss less than 2 weeks after i got the car.
i'd recommend doing a lot of research after giving some thought to where you want to go with all the mods before spending anything (horsepower goal? interested in forced induction? how often might it see the dragstrip or road course?). don't worry about budget... once you mod, you know you're going all in anyway - haha.
mods for power work best when considered as a whole system and where you want to put that power down.
so far i like your shopping list. you got some nice heads - might as well get a cam
guys in the internal section are really helpful.
have fun with that c5!
