Not to rain on your build but I wish he would respond to the post he started back in Feb as to his opinions and observations. Curious minds want to know. Again, good luck an perhaps you will keep us informed.

Yeah, I know what you mean, no worries. He told me had an injury and some family stuff to deal with. He seems like an honest guy, but I can't say for sure if any of that is true. I believe him though. When I first went there it was early spring and that's when shops around here get the busiest. He also lets one of his former employees who has his own shop use his dyno. It's the only one around here - at least the only one run by anyone competent. I've known that the guy used Ted's dyno years before I even knew Ted. He's telling me I'll be around 550rwhp. That's in line with what I'm seeing everywhere. Take a look at these other links:

I'm pretty sure he's using HP Tuners this time around btw, and everyone I've talked to says the Heartbeat is a straightforward install. The AR 1 7/8" headers I've heard are very well done and simple as well. A lot of places have done this already on the gen6, including LPE (who posted a time lapsed video of the process here).
I went for a test drive in Ted's car and the power is instant and in all gears. It's also completely silent, which is really cool. His car did throw a code when we first got in, but I honestly think he hasn't had a lot of time to spend on it, since it's not a paying customer's car. Ted knows I post here and I'm sure he knows this is a chance to showcase this build. We'll see though. If anyone told you they weren't nervous doing what I'm doing, they'd be lying
I'll pop over there one day next week to see what's going on and report back. They just had their open house Saturday but I was busy all weekend.
Edit - Here's a slip I found online from someone with an SS (automatic I think), just running a Heartbeat @6psi with everything else stock - except tires...10.877/128mph is pretty damn good
