Ive decided to go ahead and finish up the top end. Ive decided on TSP stage 2.5 5.3 liter heads with a 60cc chamber to bump compression up just a little. the shorter intake runner should give a nice little boost too. The cam is a torquer v.3 also from TSP. huge intake side and even duration is going to be a monster for power. 111lsa is going to lope like a beast too.
I picked it up today and i am amazed. i love the way the car is, power all the way through the RPM range, but above about 3500, your eyes want to come out the back of your head. not to mention the lope, it sounds like i have a pro-stock car. i could not be happier.
