Adam was suppose to be taking pictures of the build throughout the process. Hopefully my old block is still there and I can take some photos of the carnage.

I was also planning on getting a dyno video so everyone could hear what the car sounds like. I haven't heard it yet.

Congrats!
I think you will be happy with your car. My car is down right scarry!

He offered to give me a ride in your car prior to you picking it up. He was trying to get me to do the 4r70w swap too. I declined, knowing the ride would cost me around 6k.

Preliminary numbers at 10 psi. Still have 5 more psi to go.

450 HP and 490 TQ

He's modifying the driver side breather to keep boosted air from entering the crank case from the intake manifold. There was s light amount of blue smoke on decel which he thought was probably from that.

And he confirmed a f8cked up the car in the first place with the wrong tune. That just opened up a new wound.

So at 15 psi you should be running about 5xx"s RWHP/TQ? Whats your guess or what are you hoping for? Anyway at 10 psi she has great numbers esp the TQ!!!!!!!

Simon1

Yeah the TQ is crazy huh! I will be flying down Thursday (maybe with Sactown if his wife let's him off his leash) driving the car a 200+ miles and then bringing it in to the shop for a final tune.

He played with the tune a little more last night and got it up to 470hp. Don't know the TQ number.
I'm thinking 510-530 HP and who knows on the TQ. Probably 525-575?? I don't know.

I know I working on her, she warmed up to the idea a little last night, I might need to involve some jewerly to close the deal.
