Default TSP Forged LS3 Build-D1-Rick Crawford-Meth

For those not on the forums, cylinder 6 lost compression and piston cracked, melting the spark plug, and thus needing an upgrade after 33000 miles of boost.
Onto the build.
Called up my good friend Erik Bentley at Lashway Motorsports and discussed my options.
Decided to build new engine, instead of my l76.
Erik did the swap for me in a day and a half. I was on a time crunch. I cant say enough about his attention to detail and not doing anything half assed!
This car is my daily!

Build: LS3 376ci 9.5:1CR TSP
Wiseco pistons
Callies Rods
Stock Crank
Arp main studs, rod bolts and head studs
TSP Ported L92 heads
PRC 650" springs
219/231 625'610' 113+1 cam
Meiling Oil Pump
Solo 3In exhaust
Coolingmist Methanol Kit
ID850 injectors

Engine has been in for about 4500miles and is running to perfection.
Boost is around 12.5.
Ill get a video soon but here are some very high quality pics.

What is it laying down for power? I see a 4L80 swap in your future.

Haven't dynoed yet.
But we are expecting around
700/650 without changing the pulley on the blower. About 12.5 to 13lbs right now.

It will get a built 6l80 from Rick Crawford when the time comes
