Default They have arrived!!!!!

After 3 months of waitng my MTI stage2 LS6 heads and X1 cam have finally arrived. Next weekend we are pulling the motor and doing the swap along with an MTI ported oil pump and some new federal mogul main bearings and clevite rod bearings. CANT WAIT TO GET THEM ON THE CAR! Just thought I would share. I will post some dyno results a day or so after the swap

Got any baseline dynos with your current setup? I'm wondering how much that 9" rear robs a bolt-on car hp-wise.

The port work is pretty isn't it?

The nine inch isnt under the car yet. So after I get the dyno with the cam and heads I will get it under the car and redyno for ya. I never dynod the car once I got the lid, ls6 intake headers and the rest of the goodies on it. I am hoping for 430RWHP once the cam and heads are done. Pool fanatic got 448 with the same set up as I have (i think). Most of the guys around here are saying "just be happy if you get 400". If I only get 400 after dropping that much change for cam and heads, MTI will be getting them back to rework!

Definitely do the rod bolts while it is apart. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

It would suck to have everything come apart on you especially after being in the motor already!
