I would do the TVS charger kit and get a safe tune .. maybe not the cheapest, but I believe it will be very reliable ...

The LS3 can make 500rwhp with bolt-ons and cam only. Howver it will lope because of the monster cam. I won't consider notrous because I want constant power and about $5,000 500rwhp can be reached.

Although I have an L99 my goal is to get as close to 500rwhp with cam only as I can.

You can absoulutly pass the 500 rwhp mark with just heads cam. Look at this video. That car is a ls3 corvette with and ecs cam and factory heads ported by TEA (trick flow found here at www.totalengineairflow.com) They only charge like 1100 to do it and the work is top notch. This guys is makeing 525 rwhp with their heads and a cam. He has american racing headers as well whish is what I would reccomend. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/C...ads_189782.htm

Ah has said the 1 7/8 will support A LOT of power. The 2 inch would be for an extreme case of 900-1000 HP +
