Thanks again on all the input everyone.

I have been kicking this around awhile now, and I think I'm pretty much sold on the F13.

I have noticed this trend that others have mentioned of the big nasty peak horsepower numbers with Trex, MS3, MS4. Honestly, I don't care.

Powerband performance, consistency, and reliability are my priorities. While it may be nice to throw down a big HP number, I'd be more impressed myself with a nice torque curve, and being that its gonna be a few year before this car is going to be an all out race monster, I'd like to keep the max power in the 6200-6400 range for safety. This is a daily driver that I want to be able to have fun with, make an occassional track visit, and enjoy the sound of.

It sounds like the F13 is perfect for that.

Considering I will be staying with stock heads for awhile - what other supporting mods am I going to need? Pacesetter coated LTs will be added soon. Engine only has 42k miles on it. Still need oil pump and chain? Obviously I need springs and pushrods. Anything else?

Thanks!

 

The F13 is a no-brainer for what you want

Ported Oil Pump, LS2 Timing Set, and I'd go with the titanium retainers.

For 15 additional RWHP:
Ported TB ($125), Underdrive Pullies ($200)
