I remember mcicia had a LS1 short block with the BSP LS3 heads and LS3 manifolds an Ed C cam which did around 420 rwhp in a manual trans car. I'm wondering how the ported 243s and FAST 102 does with same manifolds.
I think it might close to 420 hp if they would have spun it to at least 6500 rpm. I will find out what it runs tomorrow. I'll post up the slip and a video.

LoL. They didn't want to blow up their dyno because they knew it had a chevy motor.

Too F'ing funny about the Chevy vs f-word motors and blowing up the dyno.

For $50 it did exactly what it needed to do, and it's actually pretty cool that you got the files for tuning. You need a real exhaust before you worry about a new tune or finding another dyno.

And, if you like using the steering wheel, throw a terminator irs under it.

I've got some 1 7/8" American Racing headers I want to put on. But first I have to get an aftermarket k member.

Need a larger diameter "cat-back", too, for those 1-7/8" headers to really provide full potential.

I went on nitto drags, I'll go on slicks once I upgrade to 31 spline axles.

Yep. And I was going off of the stock tach. I think 6500 rpm on the tach is actually 5500.
