Did i miss something, BADD? Maybe an intake of some sort? Oh, yeah...btw...those are nice numbers, for sure! And yes, i do believe you have the fastest time for any LS4 that i've seen across a few forums.

Rockers & associated upgraded hardware - ONE mod
Tuned - 2nd Mod
Shift Kit - hardly a "real" mod but fine, we'll call it mod #3
Downpipe - Mod #4
thats it, tires aren't a "mod" either. just traction aid. No significant mods, just baby, beginner bolt-ons.

Stick to the LS2 section. As Nikon said, there's not much else to do. If you didn't know, we're not getting the "interest" that the other LSx engines got...so for what he's done, i'd consider it quite a bit.Did you really dredge up a 3 week old thread to talk down about someone?

you wanna cam it cam it, nobodys stopping you.
stick to a custom grind, .570 lift, and all the duration you want. Or disable the DOD, toss some regular lifters in there and go nuts. Can't that be done?
headers? bitch to TOG to make you some, be like the L67 guys and port your stockers.
you act like this is some mutant motor that can't be modified. I think it's funny the guy who wants to mod it the least is the leader in your community.
Even the GM LSx would slide in there perfectly.
I just don't get it when people are like "there's no aftermarket for this motor" Hello, it's an LSx, the aftermarket is huge, all thats badly needed right now is headers, and I'm surprized they aren't out, as the 3800's had headers.

Scarlett, got my fueling reasonably closely dialed in and the Crane's will flat out pin you in your seat, once you get the adjusting sorted out, you HAVE to get it tuned somehow. I am for sure getting valve float with the stock springs, just as starts to really pull, starts to drop power at about 5700 RPM. For 95% of my driving, the added torque in the mid-range is just what I wanted, so in no hurry to swap the springs, maybe in a month or two, but now that I am not running pig-rich, it really snaps to attention when you step on the long pedal. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, I promise.

I ordered HP Tuner software so once I get it i am getting my car dyno tuned no messing around . And to note I woke up this morning and there was no loud tick in the car so far. And last night did I ever have it out with a Nissan Skyline!

You could not pay me enough $$$ to ever do these rockers again. If it wasn't for the fact I am one stubborn *** and spent 877 on these dam rockers I would have used them as rocks and sent them skipping in the lake. I suggest if you do springs you get someone who really knows there **** cause if you have the wrong clearance you will have some nasty valve piston slaps.
