Something else I did that you may or may not be intersted in is p&p the throttle body , port the intake, and maybe have the heads CNC'ed.

I think my package was a little over 5 grand with labor. Sounds like you got a pretty good deal. Is that for everything?

ok good to know, whew fastvee had me shitting bricks already lol i had gone to litle88 for advice on the majority of my build, and he hadnt mentioned anything about possibly breaking anything. I bought pretty much all the supporting mods he adviced, so special thanks to him and all the other c5.com members and ls1tech.com if they are any on here!

I'm going to RDP next month for a dyno tune! I'll be talking to him about a cam but probably not till next year. Does Steve custom grind or is the Comp cam a stock item?

I took my car to Pat G to get my car on the Dyno and get my tune looked over. I made 462 RWHP. I did the install myself and I beat the hell out of my car almost weekly at Edinburg Raceway! I have a 2800 stall and it was no good with a Cam and full bolt ons. I should've gone way bigger! I also think my Corsa was a bit quiet at idle and cruise but perfect for daily driving. Cut outs make a world of a difference.
