Default Going for big numbers w/ Chucks LSX Tuning!!!

Been talkin with Chuck @ Chucks LsX tuning and we have finally finished our list of parts for my new Z, as he called, "the holy grail of ls7 heads n cam"

Still wanted it to be streetable and make big power.

454 LSX block (high compression/e85)
Brodix BR7 273cc heads milled .60
Camshaft = ___________?
Trick Performance titanium intake valves
Manley severe duty stainless exhaust valves
BTR .660" Dual valve spring kit
Ported FAST 102mm LSXR intake
Polished NW 102mm throttle body
GM Ls2 fuel rails
60# injectors
Halltech MF107 superbee w/ beehive heat shield
Kooks 2" longtube headers
Kooks offroad x pipe
Corsa C6Z catback
NGK TR6 iridium ix spark plugs
MSD 8.5mm spark plug wires
Lingenfelter 160* thermostat
ARP head bolts
GM head and exhaust gaskets

Down the road will go with a lighter clutch and a cf driveshaft. For now shooting for the 600 mark so cross your fingers. Will be in the shop in the next few weeks for a few days then strapping her down on the dyno to see what she'll put out. Big thanks to Chuck for going through this whole process with me and helping out big time with a badass price! You rock man!

93 octane, not really trying to go for e85, at least not now.
Possibly might do higher octane also, but for sure 93

I've also heard a lot of ppl say they were happy with his tuning, until they got a tune from a really good tuner. I don't have any experiance with his tuning tho, I went to a known good tuner for the same price as he was charging.

LMR, G-force, PatG, etc..They all charge about the same price and good tuning reps. I'm sure there are more around, just those come off the top of my head for the area down here.

Chuck Anders is a joke. The afr on my bolt on car was 12 @ wot. If you want to pay a guy to tune your car based on fuel trims and not giving the motor what it wants go for it. I wouldn't let him tune my lawnmower. Im surprised he has time for you. Last time a friend that frequents this forum bought a cam I asked to look at it he simply said "sure but I don't have time for that". He was the only moron with a tv2 cam in Houston so we didn't say anything

Would not recommend chuck. My 2000 Ss camaro was tuned by him and with fbo and yank 3800 stall and 373s ran door to door with a bolt on car tuned by him. Word is that he copy and pastes tunes from vehicle to vehicle.
