Get long tube headers first. and a case of wd40
Make sure you have absolutely everything you need to do the install before tearing your car apart. You will run into problems that delay getting it all together and you dont want everything scattered. sammich bags with labels help too.

get LTs like already stated, dont install that LT4 intake (no gains), get LE to port your stocker or buy my stocker thats ported for LE2s by LE (has 37# injectors too), label everything (like already stated), oh and take your budget and multiply it by 1.5 and you should be good.

Replace the basic stuff while your in there. Recommend a new timing set if you don't already have that factored in.

Both will perform great. In this thread you got two guys running LE stuff and one guy running AI.
Give em both a call, explain your goals/budget and compare. Give your money to the guy you feel will best earn it.

Say what?
Send your heads/intake to either Lloyd or AI and they will take care of all that. Exhaust ports will not be changed, regular gaskets will work fine for them.

Cool, and like I said, the three guys in this thread all trap above 115, so the combos def work.
And another option not mentioned yet, is JS perf, I am pretty sure he does head/intake porting too.
