That's going to pull hard in its happy range, though!
Yes I'm def satisfied with it and have reached a new level of excitement. Even though I didnt quite make 550hp the curve is nice and I know the engine was built well and should be plenty durable. Im not planning to drag race so much as I like to tour and go on long drives. I can leave those 17 hp on the table. I forgot to ask today, but when we speak tomorrow I have a few questions like it seems like he has a 54mm tb on there for the dyno and I bought a 58mm. I will prob be +/- a few hp based on the few variables that do exist like the TB, tuning and exhaust set up.

Impressive! The 114 LSA will make drive-ability nice.

Good luck with it.
