id say get the following:
2.4 manifold
Injen intake
Mandrel Bent Exhaust Systems 2.5 SS w/ resonator
DC Sports Header

This will all add up to around 1200. Give or take a few.

I am fully bolted and I can tell you a 75 shot and tune is the way to go. Would you rather have 150HP all the time or 200 at the push of the button. That's the real question.

Well GM says a 75 is safe, but that's on a car without other mods. Your tune will have to be really good to run fully bolted and a 75 shot. I'd say 12 months before it blows up at that point.

I find that hard to believe... (not that its safe, but that GM would say that.)

The GM racing build book is what they're talking about. And yes, 75 shot with all bolt ons is fine.

I don't think anyone has ever blown their motor on a 75 shot, most people run 85-100 shots on occasion.
