Big thanks goes out to you Mike! Also, I would like to thank Lloyd for all the help with everything.
It's been one hell of a journey for this build, but in the end I am sure it won't disappoint even your high standards.

What kind of HP/torque do you think this thing will put out?
Do you think times like this would be possible on such a motor in a similar vehicle?

Mocked up the Magnaflow for the time being as open exhaust was unbearable to attempt to tune and drive with on the street.
slowly chasing some tuning issues and ignition gremlins, then going to attempt a singleplane conversion. Working on it little by little after work hours takes time.
All in all I am happy with the way it drives, took it for a spin today and it's pretty streetable. Again a big thanks goes out to quick95LT1 and Lloyd Elliott for the solid short block and Heads!
