no dyno yet. only what DSF is telling me.
i don't even have any idea what level of boost it's running yet.
i want 15#, but w/o figuring in back pressure, i won't know until i see the boost gauge @ WOT.

Next time I see you, remind me to tell you that you're nuts! :p

For everything from lm engines (blower, heads, cams, valve job) it was 2400. They completly disassembled the heads, and reassembled them and timed the secondary chains (the one on the head it self). Also replaced valve seals and all.

Does that price include removing the heads, blower, etc or did you do all that and drop off the heads and blower at their shop?

I removed the heads/blower and personally hand delivered it to them and picked them up (to make sure NOTHING went wrong in shipping). They are about 2 hours away from me so I figured it was worth the drive.

To the original question,

I will be running a ported head \ cam combo very soon. Along with a .20 over bottom end, Apten ported blower and a long list of other goodies.

hopefully it'll be going together asap. Been waiting on parts mostly. Heads are done and waiting for cams, bottom end is done but waiting for the moroso oil pan and a billet oil pump gear etc....

Poly mounts, new rad & heat exchanger, GW subs, elec water pump, plasma booster, vortech ice box, jlp cold air tube etc...... should all be here this week, along with my ported & polished blower from apten :) Trans was out getting the 26spline input shaft .... Hopefully by the begining of next week we should have everything to put the car back together.

I already have the whole JDM set-up exhaust (kooks\h-pipe\magnaflow), accufab T\B, 4lb lower & 2.8 upper etc......
With all the new additions hopefully I should make over 600 out back.

Only a few things left to get, the clutch set-up, and waiting on those dss half shafts and that rear girdle.

Right after for anyone whos interested the dyno numbers & etc I'll make availible.

Only thing not determined is someone to tune the car?

Have you done anything besides injectors with the fuel system? With the potential for close to 600rwhp with your combo won't you need more than injectors??
