Thanks a lot - I plan on going down to Richmond, VA to see Steve @ Frost Tuning to get everything setup. Haven't set a date yet - But once I get down there I'll take a video of it on the Dyno and post an update .

Considering this cam. My xer281 comp may have a bad lobe from an LS7 failure. Similar set up I'm running with my LS2 gto.

UPDATE:

Alright guys, just an update - After driving around I can say that this setup runs very healthy. From mid-2000 RPM's to redline, it pulls very strong. I've gotten caught in traffic a few times and I have no complaints - you can feel the car shake a little from the cam but aside from that it is very smooth. So my thoughts so far - I am very happy with how everything turned out. Haven't drove down to the dyno yet but I'm expecting to make my trip down there sometime within the next couple months.

Alright - just to top off this build thread I wanted to post my Dyno Video for this build. I'm really happy with the results. I know if I upgrade to a 85mm MAF and new Air bridge that will free up some extra horses.... But I plan on doing that PLUS I'll throw on a nice, clean Nitrous Plate setup (100-150 shot). So I'll update along with that once I get everything completed.

The Final Numbers were:
437 WHP
392 WTQ




Thanks again for all the views & support and I'm glad to contribute to LS1Tech!

Thanks man - I'm really happy how it turned out. I don't know when I'll get the nitrous setup but I'm going to start getting it all together little by little. I'm planning on having it finished before the end of the year. It's just going to take me a little time since I plan on really getting some quality parts. I'll definitely keep you guys updated and I'll probably make another build thread with a bunch of pictures installing everything along with a new dyno video and #'s .
