Looks good man, im excited to see some numbers. I have been following your threads on your build through u selling ur car and getting it back and everything lol but I can't remember are you doing any head work besides the valves?
And are you doing forged internals?

got the motor completely assembled today, accessories on the front, intake manifold on, no exhaust yet (cant have the LT's on when i mount the trans). Might go do a few visual mods to the car (put my new springs on, throw the fat n skinnies on, and start wiring the wideband in) if im up to it, i actually didnt take any pictures today, i was stuck in bat sh*t crazy mode lol

Yeah, with the modified intake valves I can run the straight up, one can was perfect at 109* ICL, the other one was 111* ICL so it got advanced 2*.
I ran the numbers and technically I could've gone 2* advanced from straight up, but I didn't want to get that close to the pistons and besides, the 4.10s will MORE than make up for the few hp I'm giving up haha
