Default It's Alive !!

Just started my new engine on the test stand today and man am I siked to get it in the car and driving. It is a:
427 bored .30 over (433 c.i.)
4 bolt block
forged crank
crower rods
TRW L88 pistons coated skirts, ceramic coated domes
10.5 to 1 compression
solid roller cam 254/260 @ .050 lift .660 & .666
Dart 320 Aluminum heads with full cnc port
matching Dart single plane intake
modified 850 Holley carb
fluidampner balancer
mezier electric water pump
Intake plumbed with a NOS Pro-Shot Fogger system
Hooker super-comp headers

The engine had previously been dyno'd at 548 hp with smaller solid tappet cam. So I'm hoping to be right around 600 hp.
I have a good video of it running along with some pictures but I don't know how to post them. I'll try to figure it out.
