***Update***
Edit... just talk to Travis and he got some preliminary numbers:

A/F right around 12.0
timing only @ 17 degrees (which is low for an LTx. I told him to turn it up to 24-26 degrees, but start @ 21/22 degrees and see how it reacts as he goes up).
91 octane doesn't help...

495hp 491ft/lbs @ 7psi thru an AUTO

I think with more timing he should be right @ 550rwhp @ 7psi.

Updated numbers @ 10psi: 602rwhp/602rwtq

This is the MAF I'm using, but mine is all aluminum. It has the IAT sensor built in. This website has tables for tuning,
http://www.powrmax.com/PowrMAF%20100.html
I don't know what boost I'll be at, anywhere from 10-15psi from what I'm told. I'm not looking for a particular hp or ET or boost level, so whatever springs I'm using now will be fine for a while.
I'm using a LT1 style monoblade throttle body with the LT1 style IAC and TPS sensors. I have a 3 bar MAP sensor.
I have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator set to about 42 psi at idle. Twin in-tank walbro 255lph fuel pumps, one set to come on at about 5-6 psi. Fuel injectors are Siemen Deka 80lb high impedance injectors.
Ignition is a LSI PCM with D585 truck coils (lower dwell time) and MSD wires with iridium spark plugs gapped at .031"
Rockers are crower 1.65.
Springs are Comp 26094-16. Seat load: 178lbs @1.900''_Open load: 459lbs @1.275_Rate: 449lbs/in
I'm using LS7 lifter with about .00416" preload.
Fans are Flex Lite 410's.
Tranny is a built 4L60E with a 2800 stall.
Rear end is a 12 bolt with 4.11 gears.
Compression ratio should be around 9.2:1.

I am going to post build pics along the way.

Driver's Header tacked

 

Pass. header

 

 

i wouldnt be worried about only a 40 on a tc78 anyhow. Its been done dozens of times and no issues as long as it isnt just horrid placement.

 

yeah, i am not too worried. i told him if he wants to run less than 10psi, then he should get a bigger gate, but he is going to run more boost then that.

 

That head/intake setup has my interest.
Id really like to do away with the stock LT1 Intake and Holly 58mm TB. And do something similar to that

**EDIT**

too bad i cant see pictures at work. damn websense

 

Build is on hold for about 4 weeks. i will update the thread when i get going again.

 

where are you getting pipe? and is it 14 or 16 gauge?

 

columbia mandrel bends... 16ga

 

I've got a head/intake setup just like this one for sale. Let me know if your interested. They are SBC Dart heads converted for LTX reverse flow cooling and use a SBC intake manifold, I've got a ported/customized edelbrock EFI single plane.

 

Bringing this back up as I started on the project again for the customer. I wasn't happy with the fit of the headers, so i remade them I freed up some clearance and made the install much easier.

pass:





driver's:

 

Thanks man! I get my piping from Columbia Mandrel Bends (search yahoo for their web address).

 

Very nice, beautiful work. I just hope I have some time to work on it this year.

 

Thanks bro. You'll be happy when you open the box full of parts

 

Test fitting in the car:




Welding... back purge setup.
