i would get the BBK, or a Shaner S2 throttlebody, don't get a damn TB spacer (junk, as mentioned above) but a ported TB is well worth the money spent. or you can just get a dremel and port your own.

Man ... I was missing out on this one ..

Ditch those Bosch plugs and get some NGK TR55's. Since you don't have an electronic throttle body you migh tbenefit a little from an aftermarket TB ... it is NOT worth the money to buy the BBK one though. If that 400 bucks is burning a hole in your pocket, get you a cam and springs. Get the 02 ls6 valvesprings, they come from an 02 Vette Z06. For cam selection, you want something with a split duration. Something like a 208/216 about .525 lift on a 114 lsa. If you go to a lower LSA, you will be wasting the boost off of that blower. You want the split cam so that the engine can get rid of all the exhaust that is force fed into the engine from the blower.

The RADIX is just simply awsome. It stands next to nothing that is out currently as for any other supercharger. It IS intercooled, so it can take more boost than the Whipple. It is the most complete kit on the market. It comes with new injectors and a new intake manifold. It comes with everything that you need to get it installed and running properly.

A nice torque converter would complement it nicely as well. You will need some tranny work with that and the blower. The stock tranny just isn't built to take that much power.

Damn thats some good info so, to get that cam running right should i get these heads worked on first/at the same time that i get the cam. Or does it not really matter. Where can i find a good deal on a race built tranny but still be a 4l60. 3000 Stall on the TC sounds good to me and the RADIX sounds good also, now does the RADIX replace the stock intake manifold.

You can put the cam in, but you will need to swap out valve springs.

www.flp2win.com ... they are a site sponser that specializes in tranny work.

The RADIX replaces the manifold. I don't know why you are hell bent on changing it out though, it really will hold a lot of power, even boosted power.

I don't know much abou tthe turbo ... I like the idea of the boost being there at the drop of the throttle though. With a turbo you may get some lag there.
