It's just nice that a guy that works with some of the biggest names in racing picked up the phone and had a conversation with little ole me, if that makes sense.
Sounds like you've made up your mind then, huh Dave? What type of intake setup are you going to run if you go this route? You given any thought about a Super Victor or Victor Jr. setup?

LS3 stroker is a 416 stock bore.

The very best I could do with claimed ported AFR 230's 518 RW, that was with two different camshaft's. The first was a non tunable 243/247 114+2 unbearable POS, the second as it is now.

I had goals & objectives, as you did when I look at your profile. You exceeded yours, you should be happy with that. When mine was dyno'd initially I was told 539 RW, my goal was 550. After picking up the car I stopped @ another shop on the way home to verify the numbers, 518 RW. Another dyno after I got home 518 RW hmmmmmm. These were supposedly not off the shelf AFR 230's, nor an off the shelf FAST 102. Full 3" exhaust, large Z06 LS7 CAI blah blah.

I'm just glad you got with someone who's well respected and really knows what he's doing in regards to head porting and proves that the money you spend with him is money well spent, which can't be said about everyone out there who hand ports heads. The back to back results speak for itself.
