Got boost!!!
Finally joined the club and all I have to say is I wish I had done this years ago. Car made 607/505 at the tires when de-tuned a bit. Made 654/527 but wasn't comfortable with that much on a stock block. 02Z with A&A kit and 3.8" pulley, LG pros, cats, GHL's, TEX clutch. Had a leak in the front of the motor so of course it had to have a blower cam installed too 
I've only had it back a few days but it drives almost exactly like stock until you hammer on it and then its just plain silly. The guys at ETMC did all the work and did a great job. Only thing it wont do is stay hooked up. Cold weather in TX, who woulda guessed. Its been raining in Houston almost the entire time but plan on hitting the track friday and really getting to play with it a bit. So whats the next step after this? Forged motor maybe??? Hope Stephen will chime in and maybe post up a video and some build pics.

Those are really nice numbers. 
Especially without meth. How much boost? I believe you saw the ECS/Alky Control meth kit on my C6 when you picked up the tires that are now no good for you. 
I highly recommend it. Let me know if you want to take another look. Meth HAS to be your next mod. Get those ~50 RWHP back you had to detune out and then some. Best $/HP you'll ever spend.

I think it is a 230ish .58x on a 115 lsa if I'm not mistaken. Really smooth and drives about like stock.
