Yeah, I mean performance-wise, I really haven't put too much money at all in to the Ion. I hit a 13.7 with stage 2/Intake/Header/Exhaust, and never took it back after I put the 2.85" pulley on. I'm happy with the performance, especially since it's my DD...but I want to get out of the "trying to make my DD a rocket-ship" game and just get a reliable DD, and build a beast on the side.

Stock LS1s dropped in to FCs are capable of mid 12s all day. I figure that's a good start, especially since it's such a cheap project.
