You'll see a good power gain from the intake. The rear axle will really boost things for ya...big time. Depending on the cam, that would be good too. A LT1 cam is the way to go, though

should help out all over. custom chip would help, maybe not needed since the lt1 cam is somewhat calm still.

what did you run stock? est. 16.3

you would probably run 15.4 - 15.6 with those mods.

Gears will give you the take off. the cam and intake will give you more power to apply to that take off.
