I know it's a big piece of tin but it's also a fast piece of tin. Just picked her up on Tuesday arvo. Already organized the full treatment with headers cats and exhaust done OTR cold air intake and a tune. It's incredible to drive and Makes sounds that scare small children (i.e. Me when I got in)

mate your best bet is a decent turbo set up or procharger it will still be legal when engerneed!one of my mates got just over 580 with a procharger with the 5.7(vz) he done 11.00 @124mph in the quarter.jake from jakes performance did it from what he said they didn't even put valve springs in it. the LS 2 has better heads more comp they are a real ball tearer.we got 368 HP out of a vz 6.0 with the same style set up but our dyno is non shootout mode dyno dynamics
