From Richard at WCCH - Proheads.com:
Thanks for being an important part of this ongoing project the last couple of years Richard. The Stage 3 L92's are knockouts! Great power in this mild configuration and I can't imagine how they would perform with one of Carey's manifolds and a carb TB. 700hp should be very doable.
Thanks again,
Kevin
Brilliant job Shawn. This is a perfect demonstration on intake system development. Looks like you've hit on a key mod for the FAST intakes. Well done sir!!
Ed, you da man!! Nice work on the tune sir!
Kevin, you've created a monster. That's crazy power from a mild build. All done by 6500 with a smooth idle and pump gas friendly. A less expensive wet sump LS7. Most of all, reliable.
Thanks for showing off the potential of of our Stage 3 heads.
Happy Cruising

Sounds good bro.
Looks like I'm getting a fresh upgraded trans around the beginning of April and a re-seal of the differential as well. Having a small leak from an axle seal right now. No big deal.
Problem with my trans is that the 1-2 shift fork seems to be done for or it needs synchro for 2nd gear. We'll see.

The guys strapped it down on the DynoJet and we've got some first numbers.
It idles at 800RPM smooth as glass which should tell you how small the cam is.
Ed tells me he and Shawn might not be done quite yet.
Not to bad 576/530!!!!!
