Thanks for the compliment! To tell you the truth I really don't know what type of numbers to expect, I can tell you that Im hoping for around 400rwhp but that may be a little high, I guess I will just have to see how good my tuning guy is.

You guys dont miss anything I just got it a few months ago and plan on getting it running before taking 2 wheels to tire shop to get tires swapped. And you would not like the dark color if you saw the condition of the paint. Thats on the list too....

Thanks BoostedRotors! The last engine did 376 rwhp. I don't expect as much out of this one because even though the engine is bridge ported, the builder didn't port the exhaust AT ALL. Why?!

I assumed that if anyone would do a bridge port, that they would open up the exhaust. I assumed wrong. I'm already planning the next engine.

I just got it running this morning. This is it idling at 2000. I had it at 1500 and it lopes real good. I just don't think it's a good idea to have such a fresh engine loping. I'll eventually set the idle down some. It's still smoking a little, less each time I run it.
