I will talk with the builder this weekend on the intake runners. The chambers were opened up to 4.0 inches and the intake valve was increased to 2.20 and something to do with the angle of curves into the chamber. Sorry, I'm not an expert on engine building, just like to drive.

Another Setback
The tuner called yesterday and said the computer was locked and they would need the previous tuner's software to unlock the computer. Unfortunately we are unable to contact the previous tuner and will have to buy a new computer from the dealership and have it flashed. This will happen on Monday and should be tuned Tuesday evening.
I spoke with my engine builder and my previous post was incorrect, the intake is a 2.10 valve.
Will have updates on Tuesday evening.

Update
The engine is being tuned in Kansas City by "House of Boost". I have been very happy with their customer service and help trying to diagnose the problem. Last night I met with their team and confirmed the tune was locked by the previous tuner. The House of Boost tuner let me view his computer screen as they were trying to access the tune. An error message was displayed and stated something about a "password" or the computer was locked. They are attempting to locate a used computer I can purchase and then start on the tune on Saturday when the tuner returns from a business trip.

Just hit a couple salvage yards bro and find an 01 or newer if possible. You should be able to call and they should be able to pull up instantly what they have and if its what you need.
Sorry to hear about the continued delays. Hope its worth it in the end !!! Should be....

Tuner confirmed for Monday evening
The tuner is confirmed to start working on the tune on Monday evening. Unfortunately I will not be there to watch the dyno session. Should have numbers up later this week. I'm a little worried my 42LBS injectors and Holley 255 fuel pump will run out of capacity at the top end. Does anybody have any thoughts.
I did find a computer at the salvage yard, ($50) much better than $219 plus $189 for the flash and hauling the car to the dealership. I spoke with the performance shop doing the tuning to make sure I had the correct numbers off the back of the old computer, so I should be set.
Thanks,

I was told not to go bigger than a 2.055 valve in my TFS 215cnc heads. I am building my 402ci at the moment so I have been following this thread pretty close. Could you maybe give me any ideas on porting them. I already know I am going to have to get my heads opened up to a 4" bore size.
Thanks
Thanks

Tuning confirmed for tonight at 7PM
I just went by House of Boost and confirmed we will be tuning the car tonight (Great group, I have enjoyed working with them on the tuning). We went ahead and bought an in-line fuel pump just to make sure we have enough fuel at the upper RPM range.
We have 10 gallons of fresh Sunoco 112 in the tank and a new fuel filter. I will post an update later tonight.
