Texas Speed is a good shop to use. I've done business with them a few times and never a problem.

 

I have dealt with them several times and they are absolutely awesome, some of the best out there. I give them 5 stars, and all that. If I stay with my car next season, I plan on getting one of their stroker motors - thats the confidence I have in them.

Best thing I can recommend is to give them a call. Tell them about your setup, tell them what you are looking for. They are more than happy to give you some perspective and information.

You would be surprised with the exhaust setups. Clearance lurks in the back of peoples mind when it comes to header installs, but with the right parts installed properly, it usually isn't an issue. I remember I was worried with my Pacesetter when some people claimed to have clearance issues. However, with them properly installed, you can barely see a little bit of y-pipe hanging down below. It actually sits better than the stock LS1 piping imo.

 

Make sure you tell them you have a convertible! It is already tight under there for duals.

My 402 Big Block Camaro can handle 300 extra Horsepower of nitrous,Its a fully forged motor.Im sure with a good driver it will run 11's maybe low 12's without the nitrous.I don't like driving it anymore.Your awfully defensive about your LS1 car.Don't know why?? I'd rather have a 98-02 LS1 car myself rather then my 69 Camaro which is a gas guzzler. I can't wait to get rid of it.Just need to find a buyer.
