what are "bigger heads?"

do you have a lift pump? fass or airdog? if not i highly recommend it
Dual CP3's
and full billet suncost trans upgrade

that should get rid of $7000 in a hurry

You can also look into an AirDog pump as well.

is your lifted or something? i ran a 14.71 with just a superchips flashpaq and 4 inch exhaust.

i would def say trans work. with my edge now, it will throw it into limp mode. slips in 4th gear if on it really hard.

i didn't know there were aftermarket heads for the our trucks, oh well you learn something new every day.

your tranny and convertor would be where i'd be looking at spending the money

ya im gettin a tranny next i need it bad i went to test and tune this wensday and withh about 200 250 ft left it was getting thrown into limp mode and i was pullin nothing but tranny codes and shortyly after i talked to a guy with a lly that was having the same issue as my self and said to stop runnin it cuz the fifth time it went into limp for him is when he blew the tranny he showed me a few pics and his c5 was just cased..... and no i do not have a lifted truck i actually took the lift and tires off of it for stock and leveled it the only reason your runnin quicker i believe is because your at a much lower eleavation that i am here in denver.... thanks for the comments and i was looking into a ppe stage four tranny over the suncoast what do you guys think on that
