Yes, get a good tune. A 416 stroker makes a less power than a supercharged engine and I was able to get 5+ years out of my stock transmission making 900+ WHP FWIW. So you should be fine as long as...

What combo is this being run on? Boosted or NA? Cam specs? Compression? What other mods? Sure as heck would not work on a boosted combo.

Absolutely!

I’m debating flow-through RaceDeck tiles too since my garage has floor drains in it (probably not legal these days lol). Plus the floor is done in one day with no smell.

I did polyaspartic flooring at my last garage so I’m well versed on flooring. Now I just need to get this garage up to that level. ;)

Be interesting to see! Ported heads typically flow even more at higher valve lift, so usually aftermarket cams will have higher lift numbers to take advantage of that. With a stock cam I’d be...

Hesders definitely do NOT add 40-50 HP on a naturally aspirated LT1 (or even a stockish LT4 for that matter). On a stock LT1 (OP’s car) it’s well *under* 20 HP gain, I’d bet a substantial amount of...

All the tuners you want to use are on HP Tuners for this platform. I would not buy the Predator unit.

If a mod doesn’t need a tune it’s adding very little power FYI.

With long tube headers, everything exhaust system gets much louder. So the factory NPP suitcase is probably the best option in all reality.
