Welcome and good luck. Don't rush it would be my advice (something I can't be accused of).

I love the engine and exhaust picture. Are you sure it fits the GTR chassis?

Yep, it fits the GTR & Can Am.... I've just placed my order for everything shown in the same pics too... see here: http://www.facebook.com/Ultima.Can.Am.Build

TangoGTR & I are building together to the same base specs and hoping to IVA in the spring.

LS3 unless a big chunk of money lands in my lap! It's a gorgeous setup, can't wait to see it in the metal lick I'm planning to get everything together for Nov, if all goes to plan.

Very nice, same choice and road I'll be going down in a couple of months. Any idea how much "horses" the engine makes with those headers? Where did you source it? What is the noise level?

I'd have to refer you to the makers on the exact specifics regarding noise, but it's expected to be around 450bhp on a stock LS3 with the high flow cats included. Drop me a PM and I'll give you contact details.
