Man, nice times. You guys should have that thing sorted in short order next year. Seems like a fairly simple combo too. May i ask where you bought the dart heads from? Were they second hand by chance?

So a little update for anyone who cares, we pulled the 370" engine out of the car and it's now going in another car.. We are switching the Camaro over to Holley EFI, Nick has purchased the 16 bosch 160# injectors we need..
We ordered a brand new EFI super vic, then we need to add an additional set of bungs..
We have a stock bottom end 6.0 going in it, with a cam and a set of mild ported 317's..
Our plan is to run this engine for awhile while Nick and I both learn the turbo/efi combo, and while I build something a tad bit more "aggressive" if you will...
Nick and I plan to run some local Ultra Street races, and focus on a few new projects that we at Legend Racing are coming out with.

Yea we have a 7531 in the car with the big *** HVC coil..
IMHO, the blow thru carb can't keep up with the demand of alcohol.. I had HUGEEEE jets in the thing and on our shakedown 1/8th hits it showed heat already.. I wasn't happy with it from day one, but it's something we tried at the time to get the car going..
I wanted to do mechanical injection (because I'm a blower guy) and I know we could make that work no problem..

Time to bump this back to the top!
It's been one heck of a crazy season already, we are slammed at the shop right now, and Nick has been busy at his work as well as our friends scheduling weddings during racing season.
However, I do finally have the shortblock going back together this week.. It's a gen IV rotating assembly he picked up, rods already have bolts in them also. I converted the 6.0l block over to 1/2" studs, and finished porting the heads, as well as converting them over..
Hopefully with any luck I should be able to bring Nick the engine sometime next week, and he can finish up the wiring and we can finally go racing again with the WhiteLTone!
