Yeah well I had a real rwd sports car with 480 rwhp. This is a DD, and an easy mod for 15-20 fwhp. Lots of guys do rockers. I only plan on 3 or 4 mods. 12 month a year car with brutal winters. So Im not rocking the turboed aftermarket headed lumpy comp cam thing and a TEP trans. I will probably do a Ls6 oil pump and C5R chain this spring/ summer if it ever comes. Would be happy with 40-50 engine hp in the end. I know I will get more torque which will make torque steer soo much fun. haha Thanks for you comments pal.

Oh sorry. Crossed lines there. Found out you sorta havta disable DoD anytime you alter valvelift on a DoD engine. Plus a lot of the Ls4's use oil. DoD causes a lot of that. Remember this was GM's first experiment with DoD. These cars were guinea pigs of sorts. Didn't have direct injection etc.. back 8-9 years ago.
