Lol, me too! I have all I need, it's just run me about 3k more than my budget!

Oh well, build it right, build it once IMO.

I didn't start with a budget... That may be the reason I'm don't want to tally the total cost cause I could have just bought a new car, and sometimes wonder if I shoulda when things don't work like they are suppose to haha

If u don't get the numbers ur looking for you should try e85, I picked up a dual flash pcm from a vendor here and ran ss hard lines and Teflon braided hose because on our motors I'm sure it will be worth a decent more hp

What track are you guys going to be airing these new beasts at ?

I'm going to try and speed up my baby ls2/3 418 budget project so maybe I can join you folks at a track or mile and let the parts fall where they may.

I think my total $ comes out at about your overruns lol. Seems about the same cam though with Arias 11.7 flat top -3.1 cc relief .030 over slugs and a dash more stroke for the 60 ft for wheels up action. Ill go head to head with any vette as long as you bring a 250 lb gf along in that spare seat u guys have. lol

This really should be an Olympic sport.

The D style port that LS7's have from the factory, are no longer existent as you can see in the pic of the exhaust port. The D shape factory exhaust gaskets I bought, are useless. I'll need to invest in some 2" headers soon!
