Turtle ram, superram, LT1. All cures that problem.
Agreed. I'm really happy with my car for still having the stock intake, but i will be changing it soon.

Yea I'm pretty happy with that time, especially since I know theres more to be had. I figure if I wasn't on street tires I could have stalled it up a little bit and gotten a better time. Not to mention the fact I still have 2.73's..

No.

4.11's aren't good for a car that pulls that much low end.

LT1 swap? Yeah, I like changing my optispark every 50,000 miles and breaking my knuckles changing spark plugs.

I'm not stupid enough to say a TPI is better than an LS1. I cant get 15 degree heads, 300cfm flow, and 1.7 rockers for the street, otherwise I would. What I'm arguing is the cost per horsepower ratio. For less than the cost of swapping in a stock LS1 engine, my father and I have built (well, he builds, I tune) several TPI engines that run faster, get similar gas mileage, and pass the sniffer. LS1's dont belong in thirdgens, TPI engines do.
