Default 12:1 370ci idle vid

Got ~25 miles on the new motor, shot a quick clip pulling into the garage after her first bath in 8 months. Idle is set to 1100rpm.

Guess I did kinda leave everyone hangin there, my bad. I built the motor, a local shop did the machine work. I have about $5k in the motor. Specs are:
-'99 LQ4 block
-LS6 crank
-Scat I-beam 6.125" rods, ARP hardware
-Mahle forged/coated 4.030" pistons, 4cc reliefs
-Clevite coated main/rod bearings
-custom cam
-PRC 5.3 stg 2.5 heads milled to 57cc, mild hand cleanup work done, LS2 MLS gasket
-7.375" chromoly pushrods, stock rockers
-ported fast 92, PTM 92mm throttlebody
-custom DP nitrous system
-pacesetter headers, 3" duals w/flowmaster 1 chambers

Notable clearances/measurements:
mains- .002"-.0025"
rods- .002"-.0025"
rod side clearance- .023"
crankshaft endplay- .005"
deck height- .013" above deck
ring gaps- .024" top, .028" second
compression- 12:1 SCR, 8.7:1 DCR

Car has built t56, spec 3 clutch, strange 3" chromoly shaft, moser 9" w/4.30's, wolfe 6pt etc etc. Haven't had it to the scales yet, but it's gotta be one heavy bitch. Here's a couple pics:

Any numbers on that bad boy? I have been researching to do a 370 build for 3 months now. Will be more of a weekend car, little track time here and there.

The '99-'00 LQ4 motors had a thicker rear crankshaft flange to mate up with the 4l80e.....can't use a 4l60e or t56 with them so that's why I switched cranks.

Not yet, just fired for the first time on Monday. Going to get some break-in miles on it and some street tuning done, then head to dyno and track.
