But not for long 
dyno'd today...
dyno'd today... I put down 285hp/315tq. kinda disappointed with the numbers but whatever. think im gonna stick with appearance mods for a while. then after a while go with a nice h/c and nitrous set-up.
Yeah just wait and get you h// and N2O.
On a side note ec_nova what wheels are on your car ? I am thinking of doing black z06's on my car. Sorry to hijack the thread.

they're ss 10 spokes. picked em up cheap and got them powdercoated, 40 bucks a wheels, they look sexy IMO. i posted a couple pics of it under the "it's our turn now" thread on page 2, i just got them on last week so i dont have a lot of pics yet.
i think ALL black z06's would look badass. once i'm fast im gonna do black prostars, that should look neat

Those are the mods that give more noticable power. The MSD, wires and SFC's help put some more power down, but not by much.
Other than the cam & tune, you have the basic bolt ons.
The LT4 cam by itself Im guessing is worth 15hp, maybe less.
I recommend a more aggresive cam, ported heads, roller lifters, comp pro mag rockers, dual valvesprings... and while your in there, new pushrods/guideplates.
Theres another 40+ hp to the wheels... I guarentee it.
Maybe more with the right cam, port job and tune.
How many miles on the motor?
I dont like the SLP CAI because its metal, and LT1's already have heatsoak issues with the Aluminum head.
When the motor is pistol warm, you will lose some power with that intake in moist conditions.
Port the TB, put in a nice 160 Degree stat, and that should cool down the motor some.
I would lose the SLP for a Moroso if you have alot of miles.
Just be patient, and buy it all @ once.
If you put all those parts in I mentioned... Your car will be a new kind of animal.
Should take around $1000 w/o installation

i do have a 160 stat just not in the sig. i was thinking of freshening up the valvetrain but i think i'll leave it alone for a while. my car is running good, though not as powerful as i'd like, very good. i'll have to think about it more. my slp cai doesnt seem to get too hot but maybe i'll look into the moroso. thanks for the input guys

I glad we got that straitened out!! LOL yea that is what I've been told but still kinda sucks. lol everytime I get on here I dont see much less than 350hp at the wheels. I guess it is about h/c time then huh?

not sure what your talking about them already having an issue since we have aluminum heads... iron are alot worse.
The heat soak issue with the LT1 doesnt lie in the heads but in the Metal intake. The LS1s have the composite or plastice or whatever the hell it is, intake and it is much less heat conductive.
