    Sounds like a solid setup. I see no need for the genx heads and intake if your going to boost it, money better spent on suporting mods for turbo. If you have the 799 heads those are the best flowing cathederal port heads from GM. Plenty of guys doing 1k hp on 317s, more or less same head as 243,799 with diff chamber size. Now if your going for every bit of power or money aint a problem then go all out lol.

    Wow congrats those numbers look great. As you can see a big stall would do wonders and it looks extremely healthy. I love how flat the torque curve is especially in a NA build. If I understand correctly the difference between the first run at 290 and this one at over 350 was headers, pulley, 90mm tb, Efans, and that's it? Extremely nice work. I think a 3600 stall would make this a killer.

    If you are planning on a turbo I would agree with above that you should keep your 799 heads, and current intake manifold. Throw money at the boost support(fuel setup, good turbo, etc) unless you are pushing big power it won't be worth the money. I would do more cubes before a Vic JR. Also if you plan on boost sooner rather than later I would spec the stall a little lower. (3000ish)

    as a person who has a set of TFS heads on a 53. i had them lying around so i tossed them on my crewcab...anytime you free up flow you gain power but for the cost it may not be worth it to you to do so

    so find out your final goal and then realize what your plans are for budget...1800 or 2200 into heads can be spent elsewhere

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
