Thanks for the detailed response Tony, I appreciate the info and will definitely be giving you a call. I've already talked to ERL and they have been super helpful as well. As you said above I just want to build it right the first time. I bought the car and owned it less than 3 weeks before the motor blew, it was built by cartek in Georgia, needless to say I won't be using them ever again.
Hit me up this week....ring my mobile number when you have some free time and we can discuss in more detail. Afternoons and evenings are best for me....leave a message if I cant pick up the phone.....Im good at returning messages etc.

Cheers,
Tony

Sounds good...I think I can make this alot more manageable for you and help you achieve all your goals. The biggest questions are would you want me to build it for you or simply send you all the complimenting components for you to tackle the assembly yourself. Either way you end up with a killer optimized combination!

Issue with the FAST102 VS MSD (LS7 application) is that a Tony
Mamo ported (MAMOFIED) MSD makes 20+ RWHP VS Tony
Ported Fast 102, due to inherent design advantages of the MSD
INTAKE ( Larger Plenum, Shorter,Straighter Shot Runners) there
May be other advantages that Tony and/or others may elaborate
Further & better than I.

To 305 CC and your port velocity below 3500 RPM especially
With a mid to high 240* duration intake cam will have poor
Throttle response (not to mention bucking and surging on the street) compared to a 265 CC Intake port that can flow
400+ CFM @ .600" (enough airflow for 800+ NA FWHP) and with
A low to mid 230* intake duration, still enough for 600+ RWHP
with a ported MSD and rip your head of throttle response to go
With very good driving manners.

This thread has some results in it

This one also...same scenario....FAST to one of my ported MSD intakes.
http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/...-600-rwhp.html
I have these down to a science now having built some special tools/gauges to measure things as the porting work is getting done....I have done dozens already all of them with excellent results and feedback....alot more threads if you care to look on the Vette forum

So here's a question, ERL drysleeve block or a warhawk block? Pro's and cons to each. For the cost of the ERL drysleeve shortblock I can buy a warhawk block and callies rotating assembly and have my local shop put it together.
The ERL block is going to have longer sleeves.

I just cringe at the weight of a Warhawk or any really stout (heavy!) cast iron block.
Unless the goal was to make well into the four digits (where the weight isn't such a factor any more and the cast iron block improves ring seal from better structural integrity of the block), I would advise saving longer if necessary and going with a much lighter sleeved aluminum block.
Especially in a car that's more of a street car than an all out track car....weight negatively effects everything....handling, braking, ride quality etc.....its not just how much slower it may be in the quarter mile.
Just my .02....and I'm not sure what the OP is actually doing so these are just my observations/opinions in general
