I have had a 2300 since 2008 and no problems with it. Had a 112 prior to that. I have it overdriven and rear cogs. I also have used BR7EF plugs at .025 all these years. You will like it. It's not a Procharger or a turbo but it's fun.

The new fuel pump went in today. It is all buttoned up and running fine. Now the hard part, waiting for the blower kit to arrive.

Since I'll be losing my BMR strut tower brace when the Maggie goes on, I have painted up the original STB. The trick will be to find a place to store it so it doesn't get dinged up until I'm ready for it.

Dunno, ask Magnuson. It has been a month now and still no word on when my kit will ship. Others who've ordered recently have waited from 9-10 weeks so I probably have a while yet. Probably closer to September.

My cold case radiator cracked after less than a year. Just a heads up. They warrantied it but still had to pay 45$ for shipping the new rad...

Very nice. When I finally put my GTO back together I was thinking of making something similar to augment the 2 gauge center pod. The next question is if I would want to tackle doing the entire gauge cluster surround on the big 3d printer, or just print an add on to cut/paste to the existing cluster surround. Either way would require a bit of finish work and paint, so?

Any idea where you're going for the Tune? Didn't know if you'll tune it yourself. I ran into a guy here in Lincoln that has a Procharged LS3 White Trans Am that has a tuner he swears by. Has had other tune his previous setup that had lots of issues in the tune but his new setup guess is spot on.

Yes, Brock at Barnyard Garage. The tune he did before for me was very well done. He loves forced induction and also owns a GTO also.

Should be in good hands!! Can't wait to hear what your results are, was all the other dyno runs on a Mustang or Dynojet? Curious to see how much you pick up which will be huge over your previous 388 run.
