Bruce, let me know when you are going to get it dyno tuned Agostinos ?

Aamir, yours did pretty well especially compared to last year, 75% increase in hp. I will be doing your motor at least telling you how to do it

Wayne I will be going to Redline for the dyno session, Agostinos is out. Redline is in Scarborough, McGowan/Sheppard area. Those guys are long time vette tuners, and now they have an awesome new performance shop with a dyno. I will let you know when I am going.

I'm Glad to see you're satisfied with your results.
I knew you would have plenty of power but my jaw just dropped to the floor when I saw your Torque curve, Tables in my house aren’t that flat and long.
I can’t wait till next year when you’ll be able to do a full Dyno, or see the car go at the track.

Thanks to 75 Stingray for organizing the event.
It was my pleasure organizing the event I had a great time, I'm sure the others did too.
I was one of the "more pleased this year" going from a 132hp to a 231hp was very rewarding. I also saw first hand the advantages a manual transmission has.
A car with the same cam I have, milder exhaust, milder intake, stock carb, and a clutch fan got me by 6hp with only benefits being 1 point better compression and a manual transmission (his heads may have been better).
