I don't think this unit has given up the ghost just yet, I think it has a few more pounds left to give in it.. I suppose if this weather clears up I will be able to find out!

-355 CID
-Heads are 195 trickflows with my own port work done, 220cc intake ports, flow roughly in the 305-310 with good low lift numbers,
-Edelbrock unported lt4 intake manifold, 224 224 .570 .570 115
-Forged bottom end 8.8scr
-A2A 12x4x24 intercooler with 3" charge piping
-PT88 .96 T4 undivided housing, 4" DP
-44mm Tial V-band Wastegate
-1.75" primaries 3" up-pipe
-2.5" crossover pipe
-E85 fuel
-DFI Gen 7 stand alone w/ wideband

^ Those are definetly nice results then. It wouldn't be as impressive if you were running a 396, solid roller, AFR raised runner head, etc... I'm guessing not, but is that on the stock crank? If not why did you go with a forged stock size crank over a 3.75 piece?

because I had my pistons custom built to my design criteria to be as strong as they could be and adding a .25" of stroke pushes the ring pack to close to the crown of the piston.. besides what is another 28 cubes gonna do that a pound of boost can't make up?.. I'll take the stronger piston anyday!

Hey shouldn't you be working? 
I am getting ready to leave the shop, and head to Leland, I will meet you at the house around 7:15. Did you get a chance to take a look at the catch cans on the shelf?

here is the graph for the dyno runs. sorry it took so long, after Friday nights incident with the turbo breaking I was not in the mood to post up but I suppose I will be sending it back to see what precision can do to repair/replace it.
here is the graph though.. it at least still makes me happy!

Me and another guy in Mn both made 1100 rwhp with Lt1'S. But the thing is the block shifts around too much and you wear out bearings super fast......so i'm done redoing a motor every 3-4 months......so i'm going to a SBC....but I think a 900rwhp lt1 will last a whole summer....

give some details on your builds, I am genuinely curious
