Bought another PCM to tune with the new engine. When I sell the current engine in the car, I am letting the Tuned PCM go with it. Letting the engine builder get the rest of what is needed. So, now it will be the waiting game. The Engine builder: http://nutterracingengines.com/
Heading down to see the engine builder next week. As of today, short block done, pan on and heads were going on today. Next week, taking down, 90mm throttle body and another computer. May be ready by the end of the month.
Was able to get three pulls before an issue arose on dyno. The issue is and believe the term used was “Steady State”. Ended up pulling the servo off and sending it out for repair. Here is what I can tell you so far. 91octane, 14 degrees of timing and we only spun the engine 5200rpm. 530hp, 489tq. Servo should be back from repair towards the end of next week.
Had a water in the oil issue with the Darton sleeved LS1 block and didn’t want to take a chance using a sealer to try and solve the issue, so I went with a LS3 block. 91 octane, LS2 intake, 90mm throttle body.
Project being delayed due to issues with the new engine, not being what I paid for. Parts not as stated, poor assembly and waiting a year only to be disappointed by the major mistakes I noticed and brought to Engine builder attention. Looks like I will be doing as usual, if I want it done right, I will have to do it myself.
Update:1-31-2019. Engine is gone. Talking with 2 engine builders. Moving forward and stepping up the game on the next build.

Reason: Update
I totally feel your pain. After 1.5 years of waiting I have a very nice motor now. It will be worth the wait. Good luck to you & please keep us updated.
