that power level is very easy to make reliably with an LS1. Do you know if you have the LS1 or LS6 intake. Also are the internals on the T56 stock? Might not be a bad idea to upgrade the shift forks and syncros before installing it since I would imagine your banging gears fairly hard during a drift event. ---

It’s a ls1 intake, I just had a fresh rebuild done on the tranny with stock bearings seals and syncros. I prolly should have upgraded it haha ---

Alright, thanks for the tip man! Also since mine is a 2000, it has 26lb injectors correct? Should I get a set of 28 or 30lb injectors? I don’t want to get it tuned and be held back my my injectors lol. ---

Those injectors will be fine with your setup , I may also have a ls6 intake soon . They flow better and don’t have a e.g.r provision so its less b.s . Where I work we can also get ya tuned , if your pcm is from the same yr u have a 0411 p.c.m and is a very good pcm and great to tune on .
