    Tosick, I've got a question for you. What heads are you running? I saw that you listed the stock LS1 heads for sale, and that you got a custom cam made by APF - obviously for the new heads.

    The reason that I ask is that it seems that you are missing a lot of power, if you only made 388/362 with heads, custom cam, and long tubes, and removing the smog and cats. From similar builds, I would have thought that you would have been closer to 420rwhp or higher. Do you know why it is down on power?

    If u know anything about ls1 / ls6 then u will know with stock ls1 heads an small ls1 intake with stock tb it's near impossible to break 400, I have a small cam and if I had ls6 heads that would add 35hp an a ls6 that would ad 15-20 .

    I haven't listed my stock heads anywhere. If u know anything about ls1 / ls6 then u will know with stock ls1 heads an small ls1 intake with stock tb it's near impossible to break 400, I have a small cam and if I had ls6 heads that would add 35hp an a ls6 intake that would ad 15-20 .

    Interesting. Are you going to claim that this isn't you? Looks like you stated right there that you were getting heads and longtubes put on.

    You also show that you have an intake in your profile there. "Mods - intake, xpipe ,borla, ripper shifter, lowered, tint," - a stock LS1 intake is not usually listed as a mod.
    This your intake?

    This 99 FRC made 445 rwhp with heads and cam - and a stock intake. That's why I am asking. I know a little about C5s.

    From your posts, it sounds like you have a long tubes, custom x-pipe, Borla catback, heads, custom APF cam, and some sort of intake. Also looks like you decided to sell your TNT N2O kit.

    So, why did you need a custom cam, if you were running stock heads? And why did you install another set of stock LS1 heads - unless you bought a ported set.

    lol your kidding me right look at the date of that post and that was before the install, then look at the date on mce of cam install.... i have my stock 241 on here with pushrods and springs. what r u trying to say i have ported heads and intake and making 450 lol ok you got me no !! no one wanted them so it was not worth changing since i didnt have intake manilfold to put on at the time of my budget build. aka intake in sig would be cold air intake blackwing.. the tnt kit will not work on my car due to other issue which is one reason i didnt do heads or intake and stuck with my nice sounding avg hp car! anything else you want to know about my motor lil buddy...
