I vote for the tvs. for the cam check out the Lingenfelter GT2-3 or the GT-7. both are awesome cams. the GT-7 with the LS6 springs would be a beast. Gool luck

going boosted you might want to look into a duel chain set. just that little extra insurance. How much boost do you plan on running?

i plan on running 8-10 to start. see where that sits me in my 1/4. looking to get a good 12 sec. have a stall already ordered an a shift kit. prolly going with 3.73s for gears. this is my daily driver also. and well in ft hood there bunch of imports that think they super fats you run anything faster then a 13.5 you beat 95% of them. there few that run low 13's and 12's. acouple 11's and mustangs all over. only one real fast truck it a e7 i work with it a lighting he has ran a 10.8 on drags but average of 11 flat.

ok, with that much boost you will be putting a lot of strain on your drivetran. you might want to look into a built transmission. Both Peoformabuilt and FLT make iron clad transmissions. Also, have you looked into upgreading your fuel system? fuel pump, bigger injectors. I would also recommend getting a custom tune. Get in contact with Justin @ Blackbear. Just click the link to the right.

id definately look into trans' if i were you. 8-10lbs and i dont think it will last long. while your in doin the 3.73's an upgraded locker would be a good idea. 12's on the g80 may be scary
