What are the other mods to the car? Surely it isn't an all stock car with a cam.

Great job! Enjoy that camshaft & give us a call when you want a set of heads for that bad boy! We have some PRC 215 heads/ Ported fast intake cars near 500rwhp with a very similar camshaft....

Would i have to fly cut the pistons to use this head with the ms3?

No sir, that head is our new aftermarket casting head which will feature a thicker deck providing for more P to V clearance. This allows us to run cams as large as the MS3 and MS4 without having to flycut.

The car puts down some real good numbers for your mods. Any plans on going to the track with it?

I put down 408 rwhp and 378 rwtq on a dynojet. I have stock 241 heads that have been hand ported with the ls6 intake and Pacesetters with TSP true dual set-up. The computer was a mail-order tune from TSP. It made that power with A/F at 13.8 up top so i think a good dyno tune will help me get up around the 430's rwhp. Also m6 car
