Last 4 months have felt like an eternity, but she's finally ready to hurt some feelings in mexico.
Had to weld-repair both heads, replace the sleeve on cylinder 6, & replace all intake valves with ferrea hollow stems.
Threw in a set of forged diamond pistons and Callie's steel h-beam. BTR double .660 valve springs, chromly pushrods, trunion upgraded rocker arms, LS7 lifters
Gapped clearances with consideration for nitrous later on.
Cam phasers are locked out.
Did 250 miles for break-in with Joe Gibb's break-in oil, flushed it and put in some 15-40 VR1.
Don Hardy built the shortblock, Speedtek did the machine work on the heads & put in the motor, Andy Moye @Primetuning tuned the car.
I'm pretty happy with the results. Car drives great, very little bucking which is amazing considering the cam. Idle still needs touching up, but other than that..
She put down 576/470 @7000 w/E85 on a dynojet
The little blip at the end of the graph is from wheelspin. Guess it's time for some slicks
