383 AFR 227 Heads and an F1a @11.5-12psi 
DYNO VIDEO
The specs on the motor and car are as follows
AFR 227 LT4 Competion heads Flow numbers are 324 241 @.600 2.10 1.6 valves
Jessel Pro Series Shaft mount rockers 1.6/1.55
Morel Hydraulic roller lifters
Bullet racing cam 242/248 112 lsa 626/608
Edelbrock LT4 intake completely ported by Lloyd Elliot (no flow numbers)
Arizona Speed and Marine Mono Blade throttle body
Splayed 4 bolt main block
Callies Dragon Slayer Crank
Dyer 300M Rods
Custom JE pistons with Hellfire rings
F1A Procharger
Spearco 2-230 Air to water intercooler with a 5 gallon remote reservoir and Meziere WP136s Water Pump.
Custom built Bob Bailey LTCC with relocated coil packs and custom Moroso Wires
FAST Classic Piggy backed to the stock PCM so Passing Smog is easy
Kooks 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 stepped headers with a 3 inch collectors
Custom 3'" x pipe and true duals to dynomax bullets and turn downs
Full Madman Chromoly Suspension with AFCO shocks
Rossler 4L80E trans with a brake and full manual valve body
Moser 12 bolt 3:73 Gears.
10 point wolfe cage with window net
10# halon fire suppression kit
Aeromotive eliminator pump with a #10 feed and #8 return 95# fast injectors
I am changing the pulley set up from a 80 crank 40 Blower to a 36 blower or a 34 blower depending on the belt situation. The blower isn't spinning fast enough. I hope this will add another 3-5lbs of boost.
I was only seeing 11.5-12lbs of boost on the FAST. This was with 24* of timing and a 11.6-11.8 AF as well on C-16.

Thanks! I am hoping the car will make another 125-150 with the new pulley and 26* of timing. If not it wont be very competitive in its Local class.

I am running a Spearco 2-230 intercooler http://www.racetep.com/tneticatolic.html and this Meziere water pump https://www.meziere.com/ps-892-0-WP136S.aspx
I have not had a chance yet, but on the dyno the temps were 110-115 and it was 80-85 in the shop.
How many degrees were you thinking? The motor is 9:1

I'm going to think about your car in the shower tonight.

Thank you guys, I have had this car a long time and I hope it is fun to be the LT1 in the LSX world out here in Vegas. Hopefully this old girl can hold its own. I think it will surprise a few people.

Thank You! I built the car myself in the garage. The only two things I didn't do was any of the required welding and the assembly of the short block. Everything else including the dyno tuning I did myself.
This car has certainly evolved over the past 16 years that I have owned it for sure.
Thanks a lot for the kind words.

The switch plate needs to have the words changed, I used the switches to control the Motor water pump, the Intercooler pump, the Fuel pump override, and the blue button is for the Trans brake.
The previsions setup was a Blower/Nitrous setup. I just reused the panel to make things as clean as possible. I wanted to make the same power I was making with the Blower/Nitrous setup with an all boost setup. The nitrous wasn't as reliable as I wanted and it added more complexity to everything. The car made 85x/76x on a 125 shot with the D1SC @ 15 psi, trick flow heads, stock ported lt1 intake, and a smaller cam through a 6 speed. It would make 700/640 @ 15 psi no nitrous.
I had a fuel injector fail and it hurt a ring and it started smoking. So when I pulled the motor I sold all the other parts and went all out on this build. I wish someone made an aftermarket block. Dart was engineering one, but gave up on it. If they built one this car would become a turbo car and it would make big power easily. I have to keep the power down to keep the block together. The block will twist like a rag and break right through the lifter valley if the power is too great. Experience has shown that these motors will live if you keep them around 1000 motor hp, anymore than that, and you are on a very short fuse.

Nice looking unit. How do you like to bullet cam? Was is a custom grind? Asssuming its a solid roller did they have a core in stock or did you have to send them one?
