FINALLY! Picked her up! CMS Built/Tuned... Dyno INSIDE!!! The much anticipated, long and awaited... Now COMPLETE 
As many of you know, my car has been at CMS for a while, and I have been nibbling at the bits to pick up my baby after not seeing her for 6 months! Not to mention I did not know what to expect. All I kept hearing was "it's a totally different animal" and "it sounds beasty as hell"
Well, last Monday I finally was able to make the trip from Phoenix back to Lake Elsinore, CA where my car was at CMS. Needless to say, after the first start up I was grinning ear to ear and couldn't contain myself. To be quite honest the car scared me shitless and I could barely get myself to drive it
I'll list the mods that Ryne did just for those of you that didn't already know... Basically he did a whole engine swap for me from my previous mostly stock LS1
Mods:
LQ4 6.0L 364c.i.
224/224 .581 lift 114lsa
AFR 205 Mongoose Heads
BBK LT's

CMS TUNE
needless to say, the car IS in fact a BEAST like everyone mentioned. It pulls like a friggin freight train and the torque doesn't stop pulling (as you can see from the dyno)
Just a little background...
Ryne really helped me out getting my car fixed after my last engine took a dump. As a matter of fact, if it weren't for his help, I probably would have had to cut a ton of losses on the car and sell it. He worked meticulously for a straight week getting the tune perfected and wouldn't settle for any less. As a matter of fact, before I left for my four and a half hour trip from SoCal back to Phoenix this morning, he even met up with me at his shop on a Sunday morning to double check and make sure everything was buttoned up good for the long first trip back.
The whole way back, the car ran flawlessly... Great oil pressure, great temps, and nothing but a solid healthy grunt in 6th gear cruising at 85-90 on the way back.
Mike and CJ at the shop were also a HUGE help. These guys just stunned me with their knowledge of these cars and attention to detail. I found myself just hanging out at the shop during the week to shoot the **** and learn a few things as well.
and finally... here's the impressive dyno runs... check out that torque curve! Pulls all the way to 7k and doesn't stop! It's INSANE!
again I'd just like to express my thanks the Ryne, Mike, and CJ... those guys are awesome and without their help, this never would have been possible.
lemme know if anyone has any questions...
