I would at least upgrade the intank pump to a Walbro 340 or a Racetronics set up just for the peace of mind. Sorry if I missed it somewhere earlier in the thread but what do you think it puts to the ground on motor?

Zac, Matt & Chris Powell, and I all talked about it last night. We will come back to austin to further punish the austin terds. Zac in the cobra, Matt in the vette, and Chris hopefully in something with 4 doors "a nice car" not an evo lol.

500 to the ground is impressive. Thru what type of tranny and rear end?
Edit: Why LS6 heads instead of LQ9 heads? What are the casting numbers?

I can vouch for both Greg Good and Erik at HKE. It just doesn't get much better that these two guys. My heads are just 5.3 heads tweaked by Greg and although they don't flow quite where his LS6 heads do, they produce great power in the areas that my cam likes. His 408 results will be impressive no doubt.
Excellent call on waiting for the proper fuel delivery system. It's just not worth risking.
Congrats man!!!! Keep us updated on that bad boy.
