don't get the rotors too hot! I'm waiting on my Brembo(?) sloted rotors. After the install, I have black ceramic paint waiting to go on my cal.

Looks really nice. Once you get nice rims, you always have to do something with the brakes.

Sorry, that was flywheel, hahaha I know no one guys by that, And I posted that a long time ago, before I knew anything about LS1's or cars in general. But after my cam and intake I should be about 370-400 RWHP :cool: I will update info after I get it dyno tuned next month.

I basically got the 365 by taking the stock number 305 hp and adding the horsepower gains that the manufacturer claimed. I know now that this is not accurate. I learned a little since then ;)

do you feel a difference in terms of braking power? how do the rims respond to it?

The brake calipers are stock just painted, the pads are EBC and hawk and I noticed slightly better stopping and less fade with them, and they procedure less brake dust. and the cross-drilled were slightly better braking, mainly for looks though. :D The rims however are huge as far as better handling and performance overall and they are a major improvement especially with some good Z rated tires.. take turns 70+ no sweat.
