It sounds nice. Not too crazy but you can certainly tell there's something in there.

Im a little suprised on the lobe with the 114. Idle is 900 RPM
There is a little more shake in the car than the TR224.

LOL no revs. Its a bit louder now with the heads.

It gets dyno's everytime I drive it, and the reading under the curve is fast.

If I come across a dyno, Ill jump on it to see how it came out. I still plan on running 3.90s soon

I like it. A nice tight lope and not too choppy. I would maybe lower the idle to 800 or 750, it sounds a little high.

get 4.10s, you wont regret it. perfect for h/c cars. i almost got 3.90s and then decided to listen to the pros. glad I did. after learning how to drive it again, i dont spin unless i want it to. i dont mash the throttle to take off because theres no need to. the car just launches by just leaning on the gas. it really is perfect for the MN6 tranny. i still get 29mpg on highway, not that it matters for a vette. mad torque everywhere

Well Phil?!? did you bring it to redline yet or are you still breaking in that clutch? Glad I did a clutch last year so it was broke in before my h&c... I've got 400 miles on my set up and it would be killing me if I had to take it easy.

Your car sounds good man... very close to mine. You know its got a lil' something, but doesn't sound real crazy.

Im thinking of taking it to work tomorrow if it doesnt look like rain. That will put 60 more miles on it which will bring the miles up to about 290. Still not going to give it the WOT yet. After the weekend, I should have enough mile to see how it runs at WOT
