    Hi Guys, I always like to get your input.

    I'll start by catching you up. I'm working with a new contact in Houston and he's having LS1/LS2/strokers built on a regular basis for Cobra Kit cars in Germany.
    He has them built, I tune them on the engine dyno and then they get sent off.

    Well, I told him how big the truck community is and started letting him know there is potential catering to you guys.
    He has contacts everywhere and can get anything, at real good pricing.

    So, I was wondering what kind of engine packages you guys would like to see?
    Maybe start off with a brand new 6.0L, install some afr heads and a healthy cam?
    He already has 30 LS1's on order, 10 at the shop and they are all sold, so this can happen if you guys need anything.
    He also has 3 C5R blocks on order and they are almost here! That is cool!

    So give me some input and try to keep the engine packages simple, yet powerful. He can build you an extreme setup, like the LS2 stroker I just tuned, but some of that is pricey.

    I'm thinking low and high compression LS1's, stroked 6L's, head and cammed 5.3's, etc.

    thanks for any input,

    allen

    How about posting some numbers from the dyno on the engines you've tuned. It would be interesting to see. I like the stroked LS2 idea.

    Ummm, helllo! How about a 6.0L with some decent heads (haven't done much more research since heard people having problems with patriot heads), bumped compression a tad and that high lift comp cam.
