i have an appointment with CSP this friday and cant wait to see what this thing will do.

well i had my dyno tune with CSP today. Final numbers ended up being 741hp and 642tq. This was all done on pump gas 93 with around 17psi of boost and 17 degrees timing. The car feels like a complete animal even on low boost (10psi) it made 520hp. Ill try and upload some dyno vids tomorrow and try and get some gopro vids of some street pulls.

Dude, that is awesome,congrats. I know how this feels, to wait ten years to finally finish the project. It really looks like it paid off. This is exactly how it was for me.
That is some awesome power on a stock type set up. Amazing actually for a 5.7, pump gas build.. That gives me hope also, that I can run, my set up on pump too near that boost level. For I have 9.0 also..
It feels good to finally get the set up you been waiting for.
Good job. Now it is time to show it, cruise it, and enjoy it.

I am sure there is a whole lot more in her also. Maybe 850 hp or more at 22 or 23 pounds. Do you know why the graph is up and down after 6k rpm? You think the valves where floating?
This build right here is what I like to see, using stock compentes to make this power. I am all about budget style set ups. That other can accomplish. Again, this is some amazing power out of a 347 cube motor using stock heads to do it.

stage274 thanks for the compliments, however it will never be officially "done" lol. The dyno graph looks like that up top because it was actually trying to spin the tires on the dyno lol. I think it had more in it also, the turbo really started to make good numbers when we started making 17-18psi. If i didnt run out of injector i think it had 800hp+ in it.
cool28 i saw your car sitting there and was asking them about it, said yours is procharged?

well quick little update, i finally pulled the trigger on some 15x10 weld pro stars and some M/T ET Drags 28x10.5s. Just gotta do some caliper grinding to make them fit. also made another order to summit for some wheel screws, open end lug nuts, battery kill switch, and some new battery cables. I also ordered a N2MB wot box so i can leave the line a little more consistently and maybe even with some boost. I am anxious and nervous at the same time for making my first pass on slicks. I will be going to BSD september 13th for my first track outting with slicks and a turbo.
