I don't know about the OP but I got mine up and running and have put about 9000 miles on the swap. It put down 408hp and 436tq at the wheels and gets 20mpg around town and 25 on the freeway with 3.91 gears. I just got a Ford 8.8 diff with 3.27s put in and am redoing the exhaust to fit around it. I'll soon be getting much better freeway mileage and if I'm lucky I'll get traction in second. The engine runs like a champ and has huge amounts of torque at just about all rpm.

Transpired since last Nov is this. I gave up trying to figure out all the aspects of tuning after driving around with my laptop plugged in everywhere I went and hired Arun ( THE man ) to bring it the rest of the way home.
Hes very experienced with tuning all aspects of performance ( lots of big hp Boost, nitrous, etc. ) and he dialed the rest of it in BUT....
We did this at his shop a few weeks back ive just been too busy and too burnt out from being so busy to get to the track and the dyno to have some candy for everyone. But its coming.
The engine itself drives excellent! The cam I have is seemingly very mild mannered but it sure pulls hard so Im hoping for decent times.
Once on the dyno we're going to play around with the VVT some more and see what works best. Ive had quite a few different phase profiles in it already and its noticeable seat of the pants up top thats for sure.
I have about 3000 miles in it so far. 7000 RPM limiter with PAC 1518 springs on stock L92 valves.
