The 434 is alive!
Had a fun morning! Started up the motor and made a few pulls. The shop had run it in and did all of the checking yesterday so I could watch it run a full pull today. The guys at the shop were extremely professional and took a bunch of time out of their day to explain to me how the dyno worked and the different settings etc.. I am pleased with the numbers and the power curves ( 570chp@6200 and 535 clb-ft @ 5000). I'll post the dyno sheets when I get home to my scanner. I did take a video and I'll try and post this later as well.

How refreshing is it to know it's right, no leaks, no issues, know the power BEFORE it goes in?
Is it the same cam and everything?[/QUOTE]
No, the cam is more like 254/260 ish with more lift. Torque is table top flat and the horsepower curve really fat. My headers and this low profile air valve (TB) are prob holding me back. But after what I have been through, if I make the same peak power as before but with better all around driveability, I think I have come out ahead.
