Default Finally!!! The car is up and running!

The car is up and running for the first time since the timing chain broke back in May.....The new setup is. 413 ci. with WCCH L92 Stage II P&P heads w/dual valve springs, L-76 intake w/42# inj, Custom Comp Cam, dual timing set, one piece pushrods, CTS-V lifters, ARP head bolts, ARP cam bolts, ARP crank bolt. So life is good the car is running great so far, my tuner will be in this weekend to get her all tuned up and some dyno runs.

Looking for the car to put down no less then 500 RWHP. On top of the motor I also replaced the springs with Z-51 and 07 Z-51 Sway bars. I also put some ZO6 rear brake vents and ducts on the car.

Just wanted you let everyone one know. And I will update everyone on the dyno sheets.

Thanks to Richard @ WCCH for the help with the help and tech advice. Along with Comp Cams and SDPC:thumbs:

here is the dyno sheet... The car drives better than any stock or modded car i have ever driven! The dyno I used is known for being on the low side.

Good you got it back. I was going to say a little low too but I guess you already know what you need to unlock the demons.
