Still not sure what cam I want/need.. Same with the headers Converter Probably be a Vig. Intake just the LS6 style. Rearend will be a Moser with 3:73's...

If anyone has any suggestions feel free to chime in.. My goal for the car will be Street strip setup, I drive the car on the weekends during the summer months and park it during the winter. Definately want to see mid/low 11 sec time slip with gas... And I would like to get a cam with good street maners!

Well, I plan on taking the C4 from ****-*** slow to just dog-*** slow. I'll do these pretty minor things:

full catback (Magnaflow probably)
small converter
700R4 worked over
new seat foam & covers

Past that, who knows... whatever the budget allows. Maybe headers, maybe a miniram intake, maybe a cam/rockers. Otherwise, I'll just be sticking to the short list above.

If you go with a vigilante stall, add 500 rpm's to what they advertise the stall as.

Yup, I ordered a 3000 and it goes to almost 3600. I learned that the hard way.

Oh, i just had some parts lying around so I thought I'd put them in this winter. Not sure if I'll do more than freshen the motor, but these parts should remove some weight and add adjustability and hook. Besides, I need a cage (NOT A BAR!!) to go faster anyway.

More pics..

Don

Being a good friend and all I know you do not have time for this project. It could take you 3-6 years to get it done. So I figure you should just drop all that off over at my place and I can stuff it under the truck
