Valve job and shaved heads? A lot of factors can come into play here...

Paul, Nice! Ported TB & Intake Manifold & underdrive pulley/balancer. I'd like to see how much RWHP & RWTQ you go up. I know that keeping in mind, the more hp you make the harder it is to increase.
But I would like to see the gains from this now that you have the cam in. I have the same modding plans for my car (i.e. Cam, Ported TB & Intake, under drive pulley).

Still cold here, the track doesn't open for another month.

If I had kept my GT I would have went with Livernois on this kit.
I ended up trading it for a GXP and that one runs as God intended a V8 to run, on all eight cylinders.
The LS3 sure idles and runs much smoother than the L76, it's noticable. It also sounds better at WOT. I'm also averaging excactly the same fuel consumption on the LS3 as well at 19mpg overall.
If there is a point to having cylinder deactivation I sure don't see it.

It sounds better on paper, but basically useless in the real world. Unless you're on perfectly flat ground or going slightly downhill @ 15% throttle or less its deactivated anyways. Plus there's the vibrations and the annoying drone if you're anything but stock in the exhaust department.
