That looks like one stout, healthy mill, Gregg! When you get it in, I recommend one, albiet brief (neighbors) run with open headers because you only live once!
Let me know when you plan to wrestle that beast into it's cage, if I can I would be honored to lend a hand.

Kudos, Gregg. Very sweet piece of engine, and following your threads, well thought out, unlike some that are looking for numbers only. I think the 3/4" headers are gonna cost u a tad in peak tqe, but not enough to take notice on the street. I just KNEW I should have went with AFR"S!!
Can't wait to hear your driving impressions. Your gonna make all those TPI naysayers jealous!

I expect the results to be very similar to the dyno curves of the siamesed AS&M setup in the Ten Times the Torque article.
Hopefully, it will be as high as 5400rpms (which is what EAPro also predicts). If you compare the torque curve of the TTTT article to the "Stealth 383 TPI" dyno, you'll see a fairly significant difference -- due to the siamesed runners (vs. the normal LT runners of the stealth build).

At just over 400lbs at 2500 rpm it should be a lot of fun on the street, should pull well in about any gear without having to wind it up. Even 6th gear will work well with this. Not the typical hp build but will work great on the street and give about stock driveability/manners.
