Nice #'s and a very nice car. How much does a car like that (minus lsx) go for in the u.k? and btw we need more pics, that engine bay is so clean i would love to see what the rest of the car looks like.

Back on topic this might be of interest..
This dyno sheet shows the three comparisons on the same dyno, the first two are THE same block as the current dyno sheet that i have posted with the custom cam but, the lowest curve is the same 383 block with ported 853's and a 224 cam. The second curve is 383 AFR heads and 228/230 XR281 cam, ( this was when the previous owner had it.). The highest curve is xr281 cam with LS2 block and 4.125 crank AFR heads. I'm pleased mine has exceeded the second curve as that is what mine is close to.

I had a souped up TVR speed 12 in my Playstation Gran Turismo game! It was one of my favorite cars. If it wasn't for that, I might not have known about it. Kickass ride, bro!

Sorry to the brit, I'm retarded.

It makes around 60bhp more than the 222/224 cam that was in before, and the heads are new too, so its a combo of the two together.

This is the motor now, the other graphs are a comparison, the two lower graphs are the same shortblock as this one, the higher one my friends big motor.
