I read it and I will say this. I have enjoyed your build up, I enjoy the determination and amount of love people have for there cars and the love of speed and power. I am not a huge internet fan, but I still come home each night late and read this site and a few others for sheer personal interest. I have and will admit, made comments to people's work.(UNRELATED TO THIS LINK OR ITEM) However. They "ASKED" for them. In this case, I feel the comments were unfortunate and somewhat taken afar. I noted some key points in the build critisism, and the intake has a few spots I would say worthy of lookin at as far as runner openings and some angles, however. Its forced induced. Its again a street car, and it has to fit under a hood without looking like a Pro 5.0 car or comparable, also what the hell do I know or anyone who has never built one.. Really?!. The car is AWESOME. The engine amazing in all its components, and obviously even more, the people building it are fantastic and artistic as well as intelligent. The dyno does tell the truth, and no matter how you look at it, the numbers are INSANE for any street even RACE car. I dont know anyone of the parties involved in the other sites comments, nor anyone here and I remain neutral on 100% of it all. Instead of shitty comments and or mud slinging in this thread or any other, I wish people with the type intelligence we have here would come together, have a few beers and build the engine they all so argue over and see what transpires form the differences of opinion and or agreements made between them. Im sure it would be sick no doubt. Gentleman, I am a welding expert (honest). Your welds look great!, your car is nice, and the motor build is something I have followed for weeks now. Im impressed. I am no LS1 expert. I own a vette(needs a cam and heads if anyone can assist, cheaply), have had 7 mustangs and tons of other fast rides.
I am subscribed. Lets move forward and see the car on rollers and please, please, please.. show me what this bitch can do. I love it!! Im envious. Good Luck guys.

Jealousy rearing its ugly head in the form of harsh nonconstructive criticizem (sp) & just outright rudeness .
Kinda sad ...... I hope it does not discourage enthusiasts from sharing builds in the future.
Me personally , if I had spent my hard earned money on a project & got slammed & insulted for sharing with others , it would make me think twice about who I share anything with in the future. What business is it of theirs what his financial situation is or how much he is spending on his hobby / project ? I could only read a couple pages & couldn't read anymore. disgusting......

Well the internet is full of so called "EXPERTS" but the people doing the work keep pumping out well build products that do what is expected. I just find it interesting these folks that have negative comments find it necessary to not ask them on HERE.....but scurry back to their home site where all their little pals will agree with what ever is said.

Hell...if you read the thread now all they are doing is arguing with each other.
I think the bottom line is the "expert" didn't like the heads and the valve job that was done. I think the pictures that this "expert" looked at were prior to the reworking of the heads. Hell...I expect World Products has done a few more heads than this "expert". He also found fault with the intake. I wish he would look on the Hogan Intake web site and see lots of intakes just like this one. He thinks folks on here are really not smart enough to understand him so he goes to his "site" where he is safe.

With this ci I expect my little turbos will be done at about 22-24 pounds. I expect I will be running on a regular basis at about 18 pounds. I would have gone with at least 72's turbos but I would have had to get a completely new hood and the heck with that right now.

I would love to see the car or hear it when final.
Would you consider a showing it to a follower of your link?
I think Im like 3 hours from ATL.
I run 622 hp myself, but cant touch that at all.. Id love to hear, and witness the power up close.
Im a Detroit native, but relocated as the automakers downturned and displaced most of the skills and Engineers. (myself included.)

Sick car, Sick build up, and I hope to see some Sick numbers on the chassis dyno. This is one of the best build threads I've seen on tech. Keep it up!

Wow, everyday this thread get's larger and larger?? I just don't see the interest in this build that is so called "monster 434 ci. tt". I just don't see it??
Matt, your car will be slow and don't let anybody tell you different. I mean hell, what is a 1000hp daily driver anyway?? They are on every street corner and here lately, every Honda, Mitsu owner claims they have them also???
Matt I say, WE should just donate our car's to the "GoodWill" and just settle for a tax deduction next year! LOL!
