so I can start assembling mine. I went with the same kit (10.6 CR pistons) and Lunati 009 Cam. I'm also debating between 36# and 42# injectors. What injectors are you running right now? Is you car running the stock programming? No tune at all?

Thanks,
David

right now i am running 28.8# injectors, am am still running on the custome tune i had for my 231/237 "ls6" H/C combo.

I never said it wasn't a turn key mod. In fact, if I wanted to buy that expensive of a crank, I'd build one myself. 395's are good motors, I just said that you may be required to re-ring and hone sooner than if you went with a 382. I'm just stating it is not likley to be a 100k motor, that's all. With good oil and regular maintence, it should run fine for a long time.
