AES Built 390, TSP Cam, Headers, CAI, Milled heads... come on in! Hey guys, I have a 2008 LS3 A6 Corvette. Im dropping the stock LS3 and putting in a built AES 390. I have some questions!
Engine - AES 390 Fully Built Short Block
ARPHead Bolts
Stock Head Gaskets
Mill Factory Heads Down To 61cc Chambers
Texas Speed LS3 231/236 .645"/610" Camshaft
Valve Springs Rated at .660
TSP Headers - 1 7/8 Stainless Steel
Injectors - 72lb Injectors
PTC 3400 Billet Stall
No cats
NPP
Now heres the deal, the motor is built for a massive FI setup, but im currently just gonna run a 200shot and then save up for a F1A setup this fall, this is the reason for the milled heads as it sits with low compression right now.
1. How much RWHP will the thing make N/A and on the 200Shot?
2. Will the milled heads be good, or should I go aftermarket?
3. How fast should it go in the 1/4 N/A and on the 200Shot?
Thanks guys, feel free to add anything in for discussion you see fit. Im looking for a low 10 second vette

I want an Oreo Blast.....I'm just north of you by a few states...LOL
If its a dynojet.....
NA: 420-430rwhp (lowballing), 590-620rwhp on n20.
Heads will be alright since your going FI later.
Track times....no guesses at this time

Getting Dyno'd this week!
a few changes were made.
-CR was changed from a 10:5:1 to a 10:1
-Nitrous was bumped down to a 175rwhp (might go back up to 200 if the trans is not having issues)
-No Cats
I was told the lower compression ratio would effect my RWHP by about 10 on the N/A side but that it would be better in the long run for the Boost.

Update:
464RWHP
435RWTQ
AFR was 12.1 I believe
Nitrous pulls were cut short due to running out of fuel pump, Was able to pick up only an additional 85rwhp with the nitrous.
Original tuner who didn't have a clue had the setup running 398rwhp on a different dyno which isn't exactly fair to compare to this dyno but I brought it back to him extremely disappointed and he made some changes which we not exactly noticeable due to the transmission hitting the rev limiter every down shift.
Called PatG and scheduled an appointment, you see the baseline was 438 and Pat got another 26rwhp out of it, which is great BUT the best part was the drive-ability was increased 100%. I'm going to be getting a standalone so I can run that 200rwhp shot like I want. So stay tuned for that.
Taking it to the track this weekend to hopefully get some bottom 11's

I asked on another thread, but this one has my whole build so i'll ask it again.
I went to the track and ran a
1.66 60ft
7.47 @ 91.5 MPH
DA 1700
My MPH is extremely low (should be 95-97mph at least), so now Im trying to trouble shoot where my MPH is. Please help!

Called TSP and explained my MPH issue, Brian discussed with me that he knew a guy with around my same RWHP and A6 with the exact MPH deficiency. Waiting for a call back, hopefully I can make some headway.
