Yup that sounds like a well put together package. The most important stuff is done...suspension, especially the rear end. The cam is pretty tame, had it before but nice mid range power. The only thing I see that I would question is the comp cams 918 springs. They had casting flaws in their materials a while back but the "new" or updated springs are good. With that cam, they should be fine with those lift numbers. Its gonna be loud too with that exhaust system.

Still has factory heads, bottom end but even with the other mods I wouldn't give more than 12k. Its completely drivable and the only things I see that you will notice are road noise from the lower control arms unless they are poly bushings at both ends and the torque arm being tunnel mounted. Also the shocks; since those are primarily for drag strip useage its not going to be great for road trips but as far as drag shocks go... they are great. I didn't see anything for the fuel system but that's easily upgraded for a couple hundred bucks. At this point, it looks safe with the tune. That 9" rear will suck power but its worth the reliability factor. Probably pushing about 330rwhp and similar torque.

Tiny little cam, Other than that it seems pretty well setup. That midwest chassis fab 9 inch is a masterpiece!

With that said, unless you have alot of patience I dont see you getting more than 11k out of her.

also when you say ls1edit do you mean you bought the ls1edit software and tuned it yourself? because that's relatively impressive if it runs good.
