Good point on waiting for a cam selection. I'll probably do LTs and ORY 1st but no doubt I will do them both eventually anyhow. Thanks for the help.

I would go with a stall. I put a cheap 2500 stall in mine a bout 4 years ago. It made it come out of the hole decent with 4.10's. I have new LT in the closet for all the winter changes. The times in the sig are on a stock car with only 4.10s', 2500 stall, LT4 KM, Moroso CAI, Flow master catback, and then the bottle. Im sure other people may have ran faster times but that has 100,000 miles and less bolt ons then most.

You dont gain 'power' from a stall.
