Great Build.

What will be the engine's compression and any idea about the cam specs?

Looking for low 11's at a minimum. CR is 11.3:1. I know the cam specs, just kind of want to see what she does before I let people know. Thanks guys!

Great build. Funny but I'm doing the exact build as you except with stock LS3 heads. What is your 408 going into?

Clutch (Spec 3) was found to have been toast after 30K, but I was expecting that. So, TDP will be getting a crack at my T56 and I will see how Jason's Diamond 2 will handle the torque of a stroker........

Forgot all about the springs, life's been rather hectic... You want them, they're yours, shoot me a pm and we'll figure something out. And when you get that engine up and running, I want a ride
