Hey guys - just finished my small build. I started her up and got a video today. My build thread is here in case you guys want to see her getting torn apart:

We have very similar builds!! Except i have the 233/239 598 603 113LSA TSP cam. Made 463/418 with a FAST 92/90 setup. Im currently switching to Borla Twin Tip Stingers while the diff/trans are out and getting upgraded to 30 spline mains and 3.91 gears.
Great build up. The C5 is kinda of a PITA to do cam swaps on. Did you go with a two piece timing cover on yours??

Thanks! ![The Patriot !!](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_patriot.gif)
That's pretty cool man! That's basically what I plan to do next - diff/trans + 30 spline and 3.91's. I'm contemplating swapping in a ported FAST 92/90 before I go down to my tuner but I'm thinking I'm going to hold off on it for a bit and see what I can get out of my ported LS6.
And yes, it was a little hassle to swap the cam. The two piece timing cover would be awesome but I didn't pick one up since I don't plan on doing this that often lol.
Those are nice numbers from your setup. I'd be very happy if I can get somewhere in the ballpark of those. But I'll definitely let you guys know once I get back from the dyno and I'll have a video to go along with it too.

Lol well... a fender gripper is a fender gripper and the Mustang cover didn't come with the Vette tax!
Seriously though is was 15 bucks cheaper lol. Funny you noticed that - I had a few people say the same thing on CorvetteForum lol ![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)
Thanks! And Yep that was definitely very rewarding. I always do the work myself for that reason and also so I know the job gets done right
.
I actually have already driven her about 150 miles or so city/highway to get through the initial break in period. I just changed the oil yesterday and I'm planing on driving around a little today too. I haven't really ran very hard because even though I have the mail order tune from Frost -I'm waiting to go down there to get a dyno tune just to make sure everything is good to go. I definitely feel a little more power on tap though
. I'll get a video of it cruising sometime too to share with you guys
