Yea I will. The car's all done as a matter of fact. Now it's a matter of time on how soon we can get this beast tuned and dialed in. Sometime this week we gonna try get it done. Then, I will post up those numbers. They should be impressive. I see some guys get the LS3 427s with TFS 235's. Well I got the LS3/L92 heads CNC ported and polished with all the goodies I already posted. So this thing should be a monster.

The car is fully buttoned up and the inspection of all harnesses and fuel lines was completed. The only thing left to do is putting it on the dyno. So me and a friend of mine who did the work on my car will take my car to a dyno facility on sunday. Then, it will get tuned on the dyno monday morning. MD-1750 will be used for the session. I've done research and it's my understanding that this dyno is very accurate and my friend advised that it's a great dyno to fine tune my car. So, I will definately post results later on monday. Hopefully, nothing breaks on the dyno pulls.

I am not going to argue with you over something as moot as this. You have to realize that things happen in the real world that set you back. Mainly getting free time. Some auto shops are not used to an install of this scope or being this new. Plus they have more than one car to work on at a time.

He also addressed the fuel system at the same time, so that takes time as well. Before you start criticizing, you should wait for Paul Harvey.

It is at the tuners now. I talked with him earlier today. They are prob taking some time to get everything dialed in right. Depending on who you go to, it can take longer than others.

I cant blame him. If it was me the car would have to sit for a couple of months before I could save up enough money to get it tuned lol

But ya, numbers, sheets and times would be nice to see!

What kind of price tag are these kind of engines carrying? I know its been asked a couple times, but not answered. If you don't want to answer on the board, you can just PM me. I'm just curious to know.

Oh, and has anyone ever put a screw supercharger on top of one of these in an fbody??
