[Custom Cam] Finally picked her back up--#'s
Well after over a month at the shop and much 
, I got my baby back last night. I had the TPIS longtubes, dynatech hi flow cats, the heads stage 3 ported, and a full tune.
She runs great!!!
The last dyno pull she did:
387.4 rwhp, and 354 rwft/lb
Still a tad sluggish right out of the gate, but once she hits about 3K, it is on. I can't wait to go to the track now!
So good to have the car back, but well worth the wait. What to do next?

Nice numbers......nice flat torque curve....hp looks to be still climbing....maybe you can rev higher???can't be too sluggish out of the gate...310 ft-lb of torque at 2200rpm AIN'T shabby!!!!
Enjoy!!!!!

glad to hear you finally have the car back. i know you went through a lot of bull poopy to get it. Those are greta looking number! I honestly thought stage sthree heads and headers woul have added a little more to that car. i am almost certain i remember a stock LT4 vett going with stage 3 LT4 head porting and polishing and i think he got about 22rwhp. those headers alone should be worth a LOT but i guess you already had the catback before you did them. I am still curious if a bigger throttle body, bigger injectors, or something like that might help you gain a lot more power than you think.

I was a little disappointed with the torque numbers. I think the HP is pretty good, but thought I would gain more torque than I did.
I am still very happy with the results, and the car is even more fun to drive...if that is possible.
