Kooks LT's FTW!!!

Also had L92 heads ported, polished, and milled .030" by Rick along with LS3 valves from an SS Camaro.
Tuned the car right after reassembly and had one small exhaust leak which was easy to resolve. Have a little bit of push but not bad at all and the lope and power are both awesome. Enjoy!!!
