Yes the FAST should open it up to it's full potential. Thing must rev pretty good. Id like a ride in it.

EPS Custom Cam, PAC springs
ETP 215cc Heads Ported by RHRE in Sacramento
Mamo-ported LS6 intake, full bolt-ons, 1-7/8" Headers
TNT F2 Wet Kit (planning on 150-175 shot)
tuned by Keith @ Force Fed Performance in Roseville, CA

on motor - 471/440 (cut-out open) on FFP's dyno through a T-56, 12-bolt & 3.90's. Went a best of 10.91@127 @ SRP in +98 DA. Nitrous numbers coming soon.

I am pleased with the numbers especially from such a small cam. I'm planning on picking up a used FAST 90 or 92 setup and porting it within the next couple months. Should make a huge difference, maybe i'll see 500whp on the dyno. Geoff at EPS is a great guy to work with, and the guys at ET Performance make some of the best LSx heads IMO.
Not for nuthin' but... I would HOPE a new 5.0 would need more than bolt on parts to run with your car... After all, you've got THOUSANDS invested in mods and yours is a long way from "bolt on" stuff, to say the least. If they can run with all you've done using only bolt on parts, that'd be downright embarrassing for the LS1 community.

Btw, that's some real good mph you got for that ET...

Those new 2011 5.0's arent exactly cheap. After car note and the insurance and the expense of the new bolt on parts, the ls1 will still be a bargain to build up.

New vs used is a retarded argument. In that case why not buy a 3rd gen or a fox body for $500, put a sprayed/stalled LSX in it and dominate a POS f-body.

Because that scenario doesn't bolster his argument.

That must have went right over your head. I was showing how stupid his argument is. You can do that **** all day, doesn't make it a good argument.

Guess it did, because I can't see how you were from any angle.

See? I am agreeing with you, that the new/used comparison is dumb.

luckily the 5.0 is only up to 457rwhp with e85.....maybe that last 16rwhp wont be reached with the latest boltons. His H/C/I LS1 is safe for now....

I'd buy a used C6 Z06

Wonder what my setup will do on e85? Better yet, throw a ported 102 and a EWP on top of that!! Can you say 500++rwhp wise guy? Didn't think so.

Honestly after running the Cobra for so many years the 347 in this car just doesn't feel quite torquey enough for me. Has me grasping on the idea of doing a resleeved LS1 in the 415-430cube range in the fall. That 'el be nice.

That would be nasty! Remember MTI had their resleeved 455ci LS1 at 55x rear-wheel and 500wtq and that motor had great street manners.

Yeah it's nothing for large cube LS motors to make insane power N/A. I mean come on, guys have hit 500+ on the stock bottom end on multiple occasion so you can imagine what some big cubes will do for you. That's why I like working with these motors, you can make crazy power without going FI like with a modular. Not that there is anything wrong with forced induction now. lol

My setup is more on the milder side as evident by the LS6 intake alone. Plus I could go way crazier on the heads and a bigger cam as well. Just testing the waters for now.
