I know but I've only have had this engine since December 2021 sorry to bother you guys just figured I'd put my 2 cents in because my car runs on E85 has a 102 mm throttle body and a Z11 fuel pump and injectors l know the post is 8 years old and l didn't see a post with these upgrades and just because the post is old doesn't mean this engine has vanished

I was the original owner of a blue 1984 Monte Carlo SS had it 37 years it had a GM performance LS2 with CNC ported LS3 heads crate engine l got from SDPC it had a simular duration cam as the LS3 525 horsepower crate but it had 600 lift a single plane intake and a Holley HP 850 carberator this was in 2008 but sold it in December 2021 and bought a very clean inferno orange 2011 Camaro SS for 15,000 dollars and put 16,000 dollars in upgrades parts not including labor I've had it now 10 months I've made 3 passes with the Camaro in late February 2022 it ran 7.40 at 94mph with full interior and air conditioning with only 3 passes in the eighth mile it is one tenth faster than the Monte Carlo SS was and much more streetable with the built 6L80e automatic transmission with a Circle D 4200 lockup stall converter and 3.27 gears the Monte Carlo had a built 700r4 3000rpm lockup stall converter and a 1986 Buick GN 8.5 reared with 4.10 gears

The Camaro has about 1200-1300 miles on the new setup and these times are naturally aspirated it's equipped with nitrous but l haven't used it yet naturally aspirated I'm running 26 degrees timing running E85 need to back off the timing to 19 degrees for a 150 -250 hit but probably will only hit it with a 150 maybe early next year possibly
