Yea, not my favorite thing but I'm willing to do it since Martin said the extra compression will be worth it. Sending heads to TEA today/tom and hopefully I can decide what to do with them. Im stuck trying to decide if I should run the ls3 valves.

Also do you have any speedo vids? And how do you like the setup so far?

I love it. The setup would have been way better with the AFR heads, but that's a whole other story. I will be getting different heads in the future and it looks like I'll be going with the AI Dart/RHS 223cc heads and have them milled so I can get to 11.5.1 compression.

Sorry, no spedo vids, but I'll try to get some taken and posted up.

You'll need at least a nitrous pressure gauge. You can also utilize a fuel pressure gauge and I recommend it since you'll be pulling fuel off the fuel rail. You can buy one of those fittings that has 2 ports in them, one for your fuel pressure gauge and one for your fuel pressure safety switch if you end up utilizing one. That fitting will screw right onto the schrader valve on your fuel rail.

I'll try and get some this weekend. Nice choice, fly-cutting shouldn't be that bad.

Martin is the man, no doubt about it. You'll be impressed with TEA heads.

Thanks for the info Martin, should be working it out shortly. I'm also following Stroked383's thread on his Nitrous install.

Lol.. That bitch actually laid down 461.. But whose counting lol. Anywho, the graph looks shitty due to an RPM spike with the machine. I can PM you the results if you'd like. I wasn't even going to say anything, but if someone ask, my response is she's a monster!! I was happy with the results in my sig. (Mustang Dyno) The DynoJet is what she was Dyno'd on before the swap so to see those results were great. I'll have some track times on March 8th. That's where the real money is.

Thanks for having such an impact on the whole setup man. I appreciate it. I'm sure Clayton told you his numbers as well. That cam of his will go in this weekend.

That's what I'm waiting on you for!!!

Seriously though, 5-15rwhp more depending on the dyno. Shape of the curve would be slightly different with a stronger mid-range/top-end pull. Still no lack of bottom end on the Stage 3 though.

Ill be waiting about a month before Ill get the heads back from TEA but then Ill get the cam in as fast as possible. Id be happy if I made similar numbers to FearLS and then Ill have the 150 shot to add to it.

Without going on a witch hunt for 10-20rwhp and costing you a small fortune....nothing.

Time to save for that 4" crank and a LS2 block!

Oh I didn't mention I have a LQ 6L block and a (Fresh) Garrett T-6 turbo. Still have to send the block off to the machine shop but the plan is 408 Turbo build with Tubular K-Member.

I'm sure you'll play a part in this build as well.

Any build plans you'd like to discuss, let me know.
