I'd like to see a comparison between a set of run of the mill F-body headers vs a set of headers for C5 or C6. Ive always thought the longer primary lengths of the vette headers would be beneficial to power production.

I don't think it's scheduled in the near future, but always a possibility down the road of doing some header tests.

Similar to the above, it's not scheduled for the near future.

How about a PRC head shootout with 3 of your most popular cams and all of your cylinder heads?

MS3 on a 112Lsa
TQR V3 on a 112Lsa
228R on a 114LSA

and then run them each with your stage 1 LS6's, Stage 2.5 5.3's, Stage 2.5 LS6's, and your TSP PRC 215's. And for the hell of it throw a set of TFS215's on for comparisons sake.

Can you dyno with a fast 90,and then redyno after you take the middle piece out of the fast 90??.I would like to see if it acts more like a single plane intake.

Are you going to be offering dyno break in of motors you sell with dyno graph? Just wondering. Looks like a great new tool for the shop. Should be very useful and should help you sell parts too.

We've always offered that for the customers who wanted us to break them in and dyno them....only before we were having to use someone else's dyno...now it's in-house and very convenient!

If you send in all your covers and misc parts to complete the long-block, we will completely assemble it and verify all clearances, break-it in with Joe Gibbs oil, and tune your PCM for the new combo for $1050. You'll need only minute changes to the PCM once the engine is in the vehicle due to small load changes, climate, etc.

just wondering, do you engine dyno WOT only so the car would still need a part throttle/driveability tune?

We do some of all of it and can hold the dyno at any RPM, any throttle position, etc so all you'll need to do is some tweaking

If you have any CAI's laying around, it would be interesting to see which ones make the most actual power. For instance, I believe my Volant CAI is holding my 427 back a good amount, I can't get over 94kpa at WOT with it.
