I'm going to do a 300m input shaft, all new raybestos clutch packs and steels, upgrades to the valve body's, proper shift kit with new springs for second/third as well as a 4th gear shift kit....15/16th chain for now, 3.29 gears, some custom tweaks by the dude.....that's about it I think. I'm getting a deal on the labour from a local guy so it will be about $2500.

I sure hope I get well into the 11's
Only thing I'm unsure of is the 15/16th chain, I have one already so I'll use it but may swap it to a GM 1" chain in the spring before the track. With over 500whp the 15/16th chain will snap with slicks no question. Changing the chain is easy though so that's good.
At this point Kevin is good with the kit so anything I do now is for me.....which is good because I've wanted to do a bunch of things engine wise for a long time but couldn't because we wanted to have the kit on a stock engine....now the fun really begins.

20 roll? lol if you want the tires to spin so much I slide sideways into the ditch maybe. 60-70mph is a good speed to ensure the tires don't break loose when I'm at WOT... :o

I forget if we got the SAE numbers, everyone uses then STD numbers when posting dyno's online from what I can see over at ClubGP, It is "Accurate" for those conditions that I was in and even here on LS1tech I see a lot use the Uncorrected numbers even.

I'm near Frederick. I'd have no issues running the Imp by him.

haha that's funny. A slowbalt isn't going to hang with an LS4. Bring a S/C SS and then we can talk. Speaking of which, you got anything done to that SS of yours area47?

it doesn't hook in second, regardless of where i punch it. 19 psi is fun
