Looking for a little more punch in 3rd and up is mainly my focus, as well as making the engine run cooler and more efficient. I think an extra 100-150 whp will definitely suffice.
Thanks again guys
One more thing, boost on my 2300 is about 7.5 psi for this much power, practically ZL1 power with 2 to 2.5 psi less. A lot of headroom left in the blower and less heat than a ZL1, but of course the next step would be headers, LT4 fuel system, cam etc., which I'm not sure is worth it, at least not here in NJ with total congestion 90% of the time and for the couple passes per year I do on the dragstrip.
