LOL, Sean, I'm confused, who did the machining/engine build? Been looking for a reliable shop that actually cares enough to machine an LSx the right way for a turbo build.

The machining and engine build was done by member Elky489 (Nate). He works for several shops in Fresno. Send him a PM, he posted in this thread. The price was VERY reasonable and Nate has built too many SBC and BBC for me to count that he sprays til the sun don't shine. Never seen one fail from an assembly issue.

My motor is practically still a virgin (lol) but it seems to be working VERY well.

Cause 3" is lighter and easier to find space for (or is it absolutely easy to place 4" in the nose of TransAm?)

Can't wait to see what it mphs as that is the true power indicator.

Too many variables... 9", TH400, etc It will be fast that is for sure if you can hook.
