and I meant to post this in the aftermarket discussion, sorry.

Excellent research. Stuck to the top!

+1 you have really done your homework

thanks. I just fixed the Magnaflow links and, added a Turbo system from Aerocharger.

No pricing on it yet but I will update as soon as I find out.

Just got my June issue of Hot Rod, and Mast Performance's 500hp cam and valve springs for the LS3 are in there. So is the Hurst short throw shifter.

I took a look at Mast's website. It's impressive. Thanks for the links. :cool:

It's amazing to know that with a cam, valve springs, and cpu tuning you can get 525 hp out of the LS3! And with underdrive pulleys, less restrictive exhaust and cold air kits I would imagine the LS3 capable of nearly matching the CTS-V's LS9 power ratings without a supercharger! :eek: Guess I know what's going into my 67 one day!

Re-Sticky please?;)

I am not sure how it got unstuck.

Hennesey performace makes a long tube header for 1.8k,and a cold air set up for 450.00 I think? They also have a programmer in the works

I forgt an s in hennessey. They claim a 12hp gain on the cold air unit alone.

stainless works has headers and 3" exhaust
