I realize this might be a little late but man have I been swamped lately. I recently had Don install my new forged 347 from LME and I just have to publicly thank him and the rest of the Dez crew . It was a very quick and (for me) painless process. The car has been kind of an ongoing project since I bought it and found it to be rougher than I had thought it looked in the photos. After spinning a couple bearings on the old 147k mile block, I decided to get a new Forged H/C setup. Bought the engine from LME and thought I wanted to do it myself... But working full time and going to school full time quickly proved me wrong. So, I called Dez, and 2 weeks and a few bills later, the car is running. I realize Don ran into some issues with the car, some missing parts from me doing the engine removal myself, and some electrical problems. I really want to thank him for giving me a break and doing GREAT work. I am still on the break in tune, and will be getting a final tune once Don gets back from FLA. On the break-in and new motor the car made 414 RWHP and 380 RWTQ. The car Drives AWESOME, and I cannot wait to get the final tune done and get the final numbers. I will make sure to post an update when I do.

LME Forged 347
AFR 205's
F.A.S.T. 90 / NW 90mm TB
232 / 239 .598 / .613 on a 112 +4
Speed inc. Fuel Rails
42 Lb/hr inj.
LS7 clutch / LS2 flywheel.

good to hear and enjoy man. there work is Awesome. once its all dialed in youll be even happier

 

Smart move to let the Pros at Dez do your install....enjoy it when the good weather arrives. WJ

 

Yeah, it is running just a tad bit rich in the lower RPM range, which I realize is just to keep things safe. I am hoping to be right around your HP / TQ figures when all is said and done. I have had to add a couple of new grounds as the car had some electrical issues. It was throwing security lights and VATS bypass codes since I got it back. With the new grounds, those have vanished and the car is running a little better. I can't wait to get it all dialed in.

Nice to see the props Nick. We'll set something up soon to go over the car and finish tuning it.Hopefully the weather will get allittle warmer

 

Trust me Don, you deserve it. Give me a call anytime you are ready to set something up. I have not even thought about driving the car for the past 2 days because it has been soo cold and we had some snow squals yesterday. Looks like we got a warm front coming next week though!

Next week or the week after won't be a problem.We'll go by the weather,free time ect..
