Wow, nice numbers.

Im really curious about the entire setup and the cost. I want to do heads and cam at Speed Inc. but I am on a serious budget.
You said the bottom end was 2K, but what about the top?
Did you get the Dynatech LTs? Was it a custom y-pipe?
Sorry about all the questions, but I have been thinking of doing almost the same thing. Did you enjoy the service? How long did it take them?

Those are excellent numbers - A4 on top of that? You've got to be very happy with that!

Yes, I used the stock crank

Well I got my car back yesterday from Speed Inc. I had a new 355 4 bolt main. Forged rods and pistons, RGR stage II heads, custom cam and LT's.

The car pulled 380rwhp with a bad fuel pump. Once that was fixed the car pulled 392.4 rwhp @ 6700rpm.

I need new rear tires really bad

how much was the total cost for everything?? i really wanna put forged rods and pistons in my engine rebuild one day, since i'll be going with n2o route.......thanks

Glad everything worked out for u so far. Good numbers

I personally wouldn't get anything done by LS1 speed cuz i have gotten screwed quite a few times.

Well, I don't want turn this thread into a flame fest. Basically, I have been lied to, taken advantage of, and i have seen bad mistakes happen with a lot of the cars they work on. That's all I will say here, if anyone wants full stories, PM me.
