The good: Just got a free LS1 edit tune, and a very very cheap set of heads! Car has a lot more power in it now...:twisted: See Sig for details!

The bad: I got heads and didnt tell anyone about them:P

The ugly: It didnt make as much power as i thought it would...I guess i just got carried away by all the internet #s. We did notice that the 978s might be causing some valve float above 6300rpm-they are also huge (as u noticed ryan) so they might be eating some power away... Terry (the heads are patriot) will be sending me a new set of his new springs to put on and try and see if thats the problem...The car is just a little low on timing right now(we will fix that sometimes this week), and i still dont have a cutout nor a Electric waterpupm, so i guess that would explain why patriot #s are higher on LS1tech.com...Thats all the updates for now-stay tuned for more!8)

what happened to the superspecial TEA's you were getting?

i like my patriots, funny thing i just got an email from the guys at TEA saying "just fyi, the springs on your car arent comp 978's, terry just tells people that because he made them like comps but they are no where near the quality. if you dont belive jsut ask terry" hmm...

anyways thats some good power, im hoping for about 405-410 when i dyno

There is a story behind the TEA and Terrys springs being or not comp (they are i'll explain what happened later)...

About the Super Special TEAs-Wanted to get them but they would have been oround 500 bucks more than i paid for these including the core, so i ended up kicking my self in the ass and getting these... Although the price was awesome on these (i paid way less than you did for them:P ) i'm not too impressed with the results right now...We'll see what happens when the details get worked out...
