Thats cool and as long as they know what the are doing and know how to tune an EFI Ls1 car then by all means go with them. BTW I dunno if you answered it before but what H/C package are you going with? Good luck with the car though and the baby!

pacesetters headers- good choice
magnaflow cat back system- another good choice
slp ls6 intake- look in the classifieds and EBay for a used one
still looking into head and cam- there is a lot of work involed in picking the right combination for your needs. I would do the bolt-ons first and give yourself time for more research
what do u think so far?

i'm planning on having 2 sets of tires and rims. one set for the street and one set for the track. i really like the look of the wider tire on back. so i might use those for the street. the tires for the track will be BFGoodrich drag tires.

Good advice ICRAZY6!
...And dont forget what Shinerbock said, buy good used parts (at least locally so you can kick the guys azz if he's a fraud) when you can. I have found a few things that popped up for almost half the price right after I bought the same thing brand new.
