Enjoy...Any questions?

 

how did they get 248 to flow on the exhaust side of those lt1 heads, with your size valves?

 

The exhaust was flowed with a pipe so that would inflate the numbers abit, i know not an insane amount but that in combonation with whatever port work TEA did net'd those numbers, they are TEA's "Stage 3" port job.

 

Very sweet dude.

 

Motor looks good.... I like the timing cover plug! Looks what I would do.

Good to see you got it together

Timing cover plug i could have lived without, lol, Machine shop banged me for like $100 i think for that one. Total cost of machine work/assembaly alone came out to $5200. Hope it'll be worth it...

 

Nice, looks like a sweet set-up.

 

Jesus $100 for that? Hell I turn the plug and powder coat the thing for less than that.

Bret

 

LOOks Great!!

 

Anyone wanna give any approx predictions to the RWHP and RWTQ? curious

 

Nice setup, I like the Black intake as well. I too am going to get a ATI dampener and a canton oil pan for my setup. Do you mind PMing me where you got your Dampener and Oil Pan and at what cost. If its a sponsor you can go ahead and list the details, if not just PM me. Sounds like you have your fuel setup setup pretty good, I like the 42 injectors feeding this thing.
I imagine you will rev the motor in the 6500-6700 range give or take a little. If your a M6 with some Dyno Tuning (really depends on that) It could make as low as 425 or could make probably as high as 450. More than likely It will be in that ball park.

 

Paid $5200 and they didn't shine up your freeze plugs

 

It looks very good.
