I will be at the PRI show tomorrow...

I came down to Orlando for the PRI (Performance Racing Industry) convention. GM always has a huge display there and all the (whos anybody) is always there so its a good time to ask them questions like (whats up and coming, new, stage kits, suspension) well you get the idea, so post your questions here and I will make a list for tomorrow.

1. Stage kits for the LNF, when, what, how much, (looking for updates).
2.

I'm curious if GM plans any other upgrades besides the stage kits for the GXP.

I would like to know if GM is planning on offering:
1. Stiffer valve springs, lighter retainers and stronger valve stem locks for GXP street/strip engines?
2. Different cam grinds for street/strip usage?
3. Larger Turbos
4. Adjustable waste gates?
5. Larger plate/fin type design intercoolers?
6. Any other type hardware that will increase engine performance?

I will forward this on to GM. I am on my way home from the show. I did learn that they have released some new items and are about to release some others but they didn't have the list with them. They said they would email it to me the first part of next week. I will post any findings I get.

Thanks for your post.
Tom

"The free-breathing air filter does not require oil," this is probably why other intakes cause so much damage.
