Default 700+ finally

So I put tires on the car to try and grip my old power of 686 and the cheap graphite HG gave up. I ordered some Texas speed heads ls6 ported with stock valves. I wanted the bigger valves but they said it was going to take a few weeks.

Well The boost is about 185kpa I am extremely happy with the final numbers. The car had a tad bit more in it but I did not want to chance the stock bottom end @120k

I backed it down a bit more on the street

The car grips dead on from a 2nd at any speed. It is amazing. I really think I should be able to run low 10s

Congrats!

I can't tell from the Dyno so:

What were the peak numbers of the build?

More importantly, What ECS cam are you running?

Thanks,Matt

You could be in the high 9's if you get down the track on a good run. My first 9 sec run was with an S trim at 650rwhp.

Stopped at 740 but the car was still making more power. I think it should hit at least 750-760 but did not want to chance it

I have the stock ls1 with the ls6 ported heads. So around 10.5:1
Peak boost was 187 kpa about 12.7 psi

Timing was 19 deg ramping up to 23 deg at red line. E85 loved the timing so I kept with it

Thanks guys for all the support

*************Update***************
the car is still running strong I am thinking now about going either to a 3.2 pulley or going for a 50 shot on the car.
