    Hey guys, I plan on doing a top swap next month, along with a custom tune up. not sure about those, but I've seen people write "Overkill custom tune". Is that good? and anything else I could do to my NA GT. I would appreciate it! Thanks!

    Get a custom tune if you plan on doing a top swap.

    Every car is different.

    If you keep it N/A, burn it to the ground.

    If you top swap it, burn some tires into the ground.

    VS cam, LS6 springs and retainers. There are a number of other modifications that would help, but if you are already pulling the heads off for the top swap, it is a good idea to swap the cam, springs, etc. It is also a prime time to port exhaust manifolds or install headers.

    You'll need someway to scan it right after because you could have problems with it. Mine wouldnt have been possible w/o my aeroforce gauge when I had it. Get some headers. And if you have the money, get an XP cam while everything is off. I kinda wish I did.
