Damn, I set my self up for that one.

As much as I preach that, and I still slip every now and then.

Slow but steady. Crank, rods, and bearings are here, the block is on it's way from RED, and were still waiting on the pistons from Wiesco. It took them a while to get a scan of the combustion chambers, so that's my biggest hold up for now. The heads should have already been here, but I think there was a mix up on my springs, but they should be in the mail now. I still need to get the intake ordered, and contact EDC about a cam. That's about it for now.

Just got the cam in 244 248 612 615 113 All we are waiting on now is the heads and tranny. Heads will be in friday or monday and the tranny also. Next week everything should start going back. Can`t wait to see the numbers. We are going to port the intake real good also and see what happens. The 200 shot should really like it!!

Century has my tranny upgrading it to a stage 3. It`s the 4l60e. I`ve had it from the beginning. I had the stage 1 build with my H/C and 150 shot from them. Never failed. But for sure had to go up!

It will be interesting to see what kind of dyno numbers it puts down through the power robbing 4L60E and 12 bolt rearend. Our set ups will be very similiar, but you have a few perks that I don't have. I would be shocked if I was able to bump the 500rwhp mark. I'm pulling for you!!

Very nice package no doubt. Keep us updated on the status and results.

Good luck!!!

Where porting the LSX intake, ET heads are what is really going to do it for me. These heads are sweet! Mike and crew feel 530rwhp is a good goal. Will know next week. I had 441rwhp with MTI Y1 cam and MTI heads on the stock bottom 346 before. I know it eats some. But the power can be there!
