I thought to post the following in Darth's thread as it is relevant to his build.
A fellow Citizen of Australia has a similar combo to this but on an lsx 454 engine.
He has the same heads and intake as Darth but without the titanium intake option.
He has set a dyno record of 694rwhp so far with the likely possibility it will eclipse the 700rwhp marker once the tune for E85 is complete.
This just shows that the BS plastic intakes don't work.
Or do they?

You know better than that!! Bad, Bort. Someone should rub your nose in that post and smack you with a newspaper.

They work for an intake that's meant to fit under a stock hood. There's another Mamo 454 that made 700whp in the states with a ported MSD. Went off and ran 198mph in the mile the same weekend.

This one also has the ported MSD.
It's mental.
Quite possibly once of the best packages you can get that is also streetable.
In the LS7 world, I've seen a bunch of dyno numbers but no trap speeds to back them up. I admit, he's a great salesman. I don't like some of the components he pushes and the price ultimately pushed me away at the time. I did run his ported MSD for a while.

What components don't you like that he sells?
And why what is wrong and they don't meet your standard?

Yeah. On the 220's, I was the only trap speed I know of. On the LS7 stuff, the only one i'm aware of is the 198 mph standing mile. I was planning to see what my trap would be which would back up the dyno numbers. Honestly I was more interested int he trap than the dyno, but delays...
OK, so update time. It is on me. I am positive I got the pushrod up on the ledge. The pics will make sense. Everything is collateral damage from the pushrod. I should have pulled the head as soon as it happened, but I didn't. That said, here is the carnage now that I know the fault lies with me. Motor should come all the way out tonight. Cam Motion worked out a deal with me to help out, even though it's on me. They're a great vendor for sure. So, order of events....
1. Pushrod set up on the ledge, not in the cup
2. Pushrod comes out and goes between the link bar and lifter
3. Link bar binds up, and this pulls the lifters inward and causes the lifter body to break under the link bar rivets
4. Lifters not free to rotate and the exhaust side scrubs the lobe badly until it gets worn enough to knock the roller off.
5. You can see through the window in the block on the last pic that the lifter was hit on an angle, not straight on, so it definitely happened after the link bar separation, not before.
I can confirm the intake side lifter bore is still pristine. So if nothing got damaged and it's just a clean-up, this may not be as bad as it could have been.

Damn darth.
What an oversight.
You can never be too careful.
