You will be happy with the crew at Livernois. Top notch people and shop.

They suggested 3k vigilante stall. I was thinking something a little higher but they are the experts so 3k it is. But, Andy did say it would stall closer to 3500 with my setup.
What converter do you have?

I have an LS3 with the 6 speed manual transmission. That thing is going to be stout. You will need sub frame bushings and trailing arms to get that car to launch at the dragstrip. I'm interested to see how your car comes out...

My bad, didn't see you have an ls3. Have you run yours at the dragstrip? What times are you getting?

I have been to the track with stock tires and had 2.5 second 60' times. High 12's. With the right tires and trailing arms I am 100% convinced the car would put down a high 11. Your car being an auto should be much easier to get down the track. Automatics are always faster at the dragstrip (IMO).

Not to but in but I installed the track arms and toe rods myself. They are real easy to do, took about 3 hours total time start to finish.
I had livernois do all the motor mods and my base numbers were around the same as yours. I have the 2C cam kit and you see my final numbers. You are going to love your new found power!!!

Did this help with traction? What tires are you running at the track? What are toe rods?

I'm interested in what this setup with the 2R puts down also. I've been considering a Cam package with Livernois. The 2C looks like a good cam, but I've heard a guy's car with the 2R cam and it sounds wicked as hell.

I talked to them friday and they said it was together but still needed tuned. Hope they get it done first part of the week. I'm really starting to mis my car. Hope to get it back this week before snow falls so I can drive it atleast once before the weather turns on me.

I looked at the 2c also. I wanted a rough idle and plan to stay na. If I was going with a blower I MAY have gotten the 2c. The big cam sound is what I love so it was an easy choice for me. If you have an auto you should go with an aftermarket converter as well with the 2R. Personally I would do the converter anyway. Should have it back this week and will post results.

Don't push. Give them the time to get it right. They have done plenty of these packages and will take the time to make sure it is right before you get it back. You want to let them get it done on their schedule. I'm sure they know you want it back...
