The short block is an AAS stage 1:

Complete installation of engine including excedy stage 3 clutch and dual pass end plate. And complete tuning for 8000rpm with water/meth injection with pump gas. Just about 370-400WHP

alright I don’t have lots of money to blow up my motor but I do want to make it little faster and I want the spool sound how should I mod it should I just get the stage 2 kit from GM and the headers and down pipe and that’s it or what do you think. And man I’m sorry for what happened to your ride. Hey quick question though the new guys that are in the crew now one of them is GM certified can you asked him how much he would charge me to put my tranny on.
