L92/L76 top end, custom cam, 1 7/8 headers and you'll make 450+ rwhp with a meaty torque curve.

I have read alot about them, both sides, the good and bad.. but with a lifetime warranty I feel good about it. Plus this isnt much of a street car.. TH350 and 12bolt w/3.73s.. its trailer queen status.. maybe a night out here and there.. lol..

I will keep everyone posted on the rockers, in another thread, and if they do fail, I will let you guys know..

Alot of the issues that I have seen, were when people didnt know what they were doing with valvetrain geometry, and getting things wrong, or just not knowing what to do to begin with...

My cam is a MTI X1, Im also running the 2e heads from them, its the same old set up, from the LS1, just with bigger lungs, and no more maxed out Injs.
