OP:Thats the plan.. And soon it'll be one of the few TRUE cam ONLY cars.. I'll be running untouched 853 heads, NEVER removed off the car in all 70k miles on the car.. And a stock LS1 intake.. Just a cam, and valvetrain upgrade, and we're gona see how far she'll go on a stock 10 bolt, with stock 342's with a 6 speed..

Why do that AND atleast not put a LS6 intake on it???! U want simple..then there it is..the cam and valve train upgrade would work better w/ the intake..my .02

Car looks great man and a hardtop, mine is lowered 1.5 inches and rides the same with just me in the car, if you put her or a buddy in there, totally different story, bounces and everything else. Here's a pic of the berger panel with the chrome inserts..it may help ya out on your decision!

Car looks 99% perfect, that SLP grille will get it 100%. Makes me miss my hard top 2000 Z28 H/C/I (one of the first LS6 intakes in the country). MTI 241 cylinder heads/ Lunati 224/224 cam with MAC mid-length headers. <<<<That's old school.>>>> I made right at 415 rwhp before the addition of the LS6 intake, picked up 15 rwhp after the intake and nearly 2 mph at the track.

On the factory Goodyear GS-C's 245/16 tires I'd cut 2.0's all day long and run 12.20's @ 118-120 mph, (11.90's with DR cutting 1.8's on the stock 10 bolt). That car was fun and still got 26 mpg on the frwy.

I like the Berger panel.. I just think that since there is nothing else black on my car like wheels, or hood scoop painted or anything, I just dont think any black additions on the back of the car are going to flow well with the rest of the car. Especially with chrome wheels..
