I showed the picture of your car to my 3 year old boy and he said, "daddy, why does that car have your old wheels on it?" I told him that I sold them to you and he asked me why. I just had to laugh. He really loved those wheels too.

3.73's would be good with that cam. 4.10's would be a good choice too, but the 3.73's would probably suite you better side you street drive the car so much.

^^^ Good stuff right there. Looking forward to seeing what she ends up putting down. Did they give you any idea what to expect?

Also, do you plan on going down to Bowling Green this year for Holley LS Fest? I think I may be going. If you do go, we could meet up somewhere in Illinois and drive up together.

They think 400 at the wheels, which would be great. I am thinking it will be closer to 385-390. Depending on the time of year, I would be down for just about anything.

I believe it's in September Matt. I've got it down on my calendar at work. Have you put much thought into what heads you'd like to run?

I was looking at them today, lol. Thinking PRC LS6 head at the moment. That will probably be next years upgrade, along with an intake. Plenty of time though to go over the options.

I think you'll hit 400rwhp. The, if you add heads and intake, depending on the combo you go with, that should add another 60 or so HP. Have you thought much about TFS 220cc As Cast heads? You can get them through Brian Tooley for a really good price, and if you have an extra $300.00, he will hand port them for you, putting them on par or above the TFS 215cc CNC'd heads.

I'll keep those Trick Flow heads in mind.
