I think he was running 12lbs of boost around 700rwhp. I could be wrong though.

Good luck with the new motor Mike!

I was doing some "window shopping" & "tire kicking" today at LME in Houston, then on to LMR (Late Model Racecraft). 408cid iron is definetely a lot of bang for the Boost Buck, but new the LS3 stuff is SaWeeeeeet!!!
