That sounds nice! So what happened exactly with your old setup? I don't think I've seen any updates to the damage, and what happened! I'm very curious to hear. What heads were you running before your previous engine died? What did the cam look like?

Otherwise, this new setup sounds kick. Good luck!

Adrian

Sounds like she'll be a beast when finished Some AFR's would go nice with that setup. What intake are you going to run?

Adrian - MY old setup is still under investigation I am having things examined right now and will see what really went wrong, but it's dead for sure. I was running, well, ran for 10 mins PRC Stage 3 5.3l heads. I haven't pulled the cam out yet, so I don't know what that looks like. Thanks for the support, I can't wait for this to come together.

conan - Thanks dude! I'm not sure on the heads, there are A LOT of choices, AFR 225's would be nice, some Darts would work too, etc, that's on the list of things to work out still. If I have enough money I will go 90/90 and shoot to crack 500rwhp, if money is short with all the little crap, the LS6 intake will be going on it and I will be happy with 470rwhp.

I was sorry to hear about your bottom end man, it sounded like a real sweet setup I was anxious to see what it would make. Let us know what goes down on the 402. I'm planning a setup like that for myself after my I get my turbo **** sorted out on my busa.
Just curious, what did it run ya?
