What parts do you suggest I can buy. I want to get the best possible.

This is what I am planning on buying through Tyler from JDP Motorsports
Stainless Works Headers to tips (love the sound)
POrted VMAX Throttle body
RotoFab CAI (already installed)
Oil Catch can.
An possibly a cam package like this one. HERE.

Tyler has been great help, I just want to be sure to get the best.

I have SW headers and exhaust and love it. For a catch can make sure to get a good one, not sure which you are looking at to give opinions. For cam are you a ls3 or l99?

Sounds like you already know what you want thats a good parts list. Jdp has some good stuff and depending on what you want or future plans are (supercharging) let jdp help you decide on your cam choice. A lot of vendors are using cam motion cores now instead of comp cams due to failures so you might wanna take that into consideration as well.

Go with a Bo ported throttle body, better then the V max ones

As mightmouse said, if its a comp cam core stay away. Go with cam motion.

Good list for sure! Thanks for the support and kind words. I suggest the Elite Engineering catch can. We've been using them for years and I feel they have the best design, quality and function.

We can spec a cam custom to your application. We do not use Comp cores. Our cores are made from 1050 Billet material.

I'd still like to see/do a side-by-side comparison with VMAX vs the Bo White PTB. I doubt there will be much difference, but I'd like to see some evidence to back up the "better" claims.

Carry on!

Best regards,

Tyler

To bad I didn't take my own advice I got my NF cam last year when mostly everyone was running comp cores. Keeping my fingers crossed, my installer does tons of ls cars and he said hes yet to have a car that he did have a cam failure even using comp.
