Finally Blown!
Just wanted to say thanks to the guys at e.c.s, arun@ccp and Texas Speed.
E.C.S helped me get all my parts together (bought a used kit) They even sent me some parts overnight when i was in a pinch. Thanks to Arun also for his blower cam.
Mods are as follows:
Texas Speed iron block Forged 408
Novi 2000 blower
83lb injectors
kb boost-a-pump
Mcleod twin disk
Long tubes
Custom blower cam
Stock heads/ls6 intake/upgraded springs
Ls7 lifters and Katech timing chain
I would also like to thank my builder/installer Chad Barton at CB Street Cars.
The car made 688hp and 660tq on a safe tune with no meth.
Its a blast to drive and i'm most impressed with the torque.
Future plans will be Alky/meth kit and upgraded radiator.

That's pretty cool!
Awesome TQ for sure, jumps straight up there -
Did they explain why it is so up and down at the top?
To me it looks like float or the springs - BUT you replaced them -
What size cam are you running from ARUN?
Everything looks real good and the monster TQ from the cubes is awesome - Vette looks super clean too!
With the Meth it will keep things cooler and you will probably hit 700+ safely!
Keep us posted
Thanks,Matt

Thanks guys! Appreciate the compliments. I'm running 12 pounds of boost. There's plenty of power left on the table especially after I install meth. Right now though I'm just trying to get used to what I have. It's and handful and will break loose at 85mph!
