Ron at Vengeance and Jon at TSP have been very helpful in this build. I would highly recommend anybody to either one of these shops. Thanks again Ron for the great prices and bad *** looking LSX intake. Now its time for the boys at TSP to do work. Will see what they can get out of this package. On a side note I had to drive six hours to the TSP shop and premium gas in the there area is 90 oct.

I hope this does not affect the tune that much. I wonder if TSP will be able to get all the timing out of this, but we will see what happens. All so for the base line tune thats in the car is a diablo programer. I have EFI Live and roadrunner but I stuck the stock PCM back in since TSP tunes with HP Tuners. I will guess the car will put down about 335-340 RWHP in its current form.

Fixed. I forgot to get head bolts. Lucky for me TSP has head bolts in stock. Headgasket was in the other box with the LSX intake.

If they take pics I would feel a little bad since the car look like ***. It need a wash and wax big time. The engine bay looks like big time. If they take pics it would be cool. Just don't bust my ***** to much I do live in the desert and had a six hour drive to the shop.

I can't believe the UPS guy took the time to lay it all out like that. I never get that kind of service from DHL.

Ron your class shows through again. No need to take a shot at my tuning, I will make sure the car is perfect when she ships out.

That being said Matt never wants to over quote a customer & have them be disappointed. Some shops make their living over claiming results & never having their customers back it up. I have pushed my employees to always safely estimate a dyno result to make sure the car over-performs.

I definitely agree with Ron that the car will make 450+rwhp with the ported intake & everything! We recently finished a 228R camshaft & PRC Stage 2.5 5.3l heads that made mid 430s with a stock LS6 intake & TB.

Here's a baseline from your TA Mr. REDTA, she definately makes great power!!

Guys to clarify I am not claiming anyone particular overstates dyno numbers, this is just to clarify the reason Matt underestimates over the phone. You never know what car, condition, etc a car is in. As a result we prefer to estimate safe numbers over the phone & let the cars over-perform!

I am really supprised that the car still can crank out 350+rwhp. The last time I dynoed was in 2005 and it made 350 RWHP without my port and polished throttle body. My old dyno graphs are in my sig both before and after the header install. Look at how close the readings are. Two different dynos from two different states about the same results. Thank you Jason for posting up the dyno graphs and all hard work you guys at TSP do.

If Iwere you I would go with an adjustable timing chain and degree that cam. It would be like getting a free 10-20 hp exspecialy with all of the other nice stuff you have.

The wait must be killing you, but it looks like it's in good hands. Looks like you were already making good power. You're going to have a blast!
