That sounds like LS1 stuff like the OP has. LOL

I'd like to see a datalog of redbird pulling 7200 on purpose with his LS7 (not LS1 like OP), for 3 or 4 straight gears..... easy peasy right?

How do you like the proxes?? Exactly what I was planning on going with. I've been hearing great things about them. How they hook?

They're very good for the price. the nt05r is better, but the toyos are still a competitor

Yes get a shift light. Makes all the difference in the world. WOT, stare straight ahead and when the light blinks ****** a gear.

Be careful with using the word ******. My wife sits next to me, and I might grab and handful instead of a gear

But I have stiff suspension. I don't want to hit a bump in the road and gag her. She has a bad gag reflex and nights down when she gags. Now THAT would be driving dangerously

Listen dude. Drop the cathedrals. If you are porting the heads and getting an intake waste money? With that cam you will make 450-475 with rectangles.

Cathedrals are fine....worked 243 castings have made 550whp on a 416 ls3 block and ported Fast 102. More then enough head for 450+ whp with that cam. Send the 243's off to TEA or AI, get a ported Fast, put a good lifter and spring in it and let it spin.

I shift mine at 7k with a much smaller cam.
