My brakes are in the process of being updated: Wilwood W6A in the front and I'll move my Z06 6 pistons to the rear. Need to do some fab work to get RideTech Triples w/ double shear mounts to work in the front.

My T56 w/ 3.08's purrs like a kitten at 500rpm in 6th on the highway! I can't do a standing mile yet until I resolve the ground clearance issues with my quicktime bellhousing. Cars following me get scared by the sparks my car produces on the highway....

Back to the LS discussion, I found this article documenting the Mast cam and head swap. My gosh, 507ft-lb of torque with a cam and head swap on a stock 376ci motor is pretty amazing! Makes the case for finding a cheap LS3 pull-out all the more convincing.

When you get a chance give me a call or stop by. We can sit and talk about Wegner building you a long bock with a short block that you will not have to upgrade later as you start adding power free-ers and adders.ie: Same short block but you just swap heads, cam, oiling etc.

You could swap to a carbed LS for now, that way you can leave your fuel system as it sits now then upgrade later.

A lot of options for you.

Damn, I suprised your engine doesn't lug itself to death. Love to see what you can get for a top speed. 3000 rpm @ 137 mph?
