I want a built shortblock but....

^^ Are you speaking from personal experience or did you find that info somewhere? With your figures you're looking at 380whp at the wheels.

Yeah the LTH's are a sticking point but it's more then that. S/C kits, while not generating as much heat as TT's, will still eventually destroy stock equipment ie. stock cats. I think the inability to match LTH's with current SC kits is more the limitations of the kit than the increased flow of the headers. I'd be willing to guess that if you ran a kit with a full standalone, where you'd be able to tune VVEL, the headers wouldn't be a problem.

JB, your car is a monster man, but a TT isn't for me right now. I'm sure I'll change my mind a million times before I make the decision but I'm leaning toward an SC kit and maybe down the line if and when I do a full stroker build going TT. Hopefully by then I'll have enough $ where it won't be a limiting factor, not all of us can spend like bullitt right now.

I'll be keeping a sharp eye on the progress of the GTM and Stillen kits, RCZ loves his stillen kit and he's running headers and HFC's in time I'm sure it'll all get figured out.

This thread has been filled with informative facts and opinions thus far...keep them coming!
