The pictures don't do that thing justice. Thanks for putting up with all my off the wall questions, and steering me in the right direction on parts. It was a pleasure doing business with you guys.

Someone mentioned the price range... I'll say this much, how much is peace of mind worth? With Shawn's help I feel like I got the most performance for my dollar, and the most peace of mind.

Shawn Rocks!!! Thanks for the pics, now I won’t be able to sleep at night waiting to get this work of art back in the car...

I'm sure everyone reading this thread already knows how Badass Virginia Speed is, but I just felt the need to say it again!!! What Shawn did to make this old LS2 block into what it is today is absolutely remarkable. To say that what he does at VA Speed is “Amazing” is truly an understatement…

And Ed, “Super Tuner”… He’s a truly outstanding tuner. Ed’s been tuning our car for a while now, but only after 3 or 4 other local shops in our area couldn’t get it right… Trust me guys, we don’t travel 350 miles to VA Speed for nuthin… Ed was a key player in helping us get the world record last year – 9.25 @ 153 with our Full Weight 6 speed C5 Corvette street Car.

That said… Here’s to the VA Speed Dynamic Duo - Shawn Miller (Bad *** Builder) and Ed Hutchings (AKA in NJ "The Super Tuner")...

Thanks again guys... Kyle Surgent (one of the Jersey Boyz)

Those copper head gaskets look plenty thick! Also, in the 4th pic looks like some kind of sealer oozing out. Is that a brushable sealer maybe? Thanks for sharing with us rookies.

That engine is simply AMAZING! I'm speechless... just.. damn! Looks too good to put in a car. Use it as a showcase (take it on the road) to show other engine builders "How its done!" Mike
