I don't have anything to post, all my shopping is done and parts are ordered sitting at the shop. Delivering my stock motor the end of March and new motor is going in after I get home from vacation in early April.

I am keeping my intake secret for now! It will be revealed when motor is done and ready for Tuning April sometime! There will be Bling!!!:

New motor is making progress, I will be taking my car out of storage in the next week or so when there is break in the weather to pull the stock motor and start the cleaning. New motor will be going in just after April 1st after I get back from vacation.

I picked up EFI Live so Doug can set me up with a base tune and get some miles on her before we can beat the hell out of it! Still not 100% sure on intake choice, I have a ported LS3 sitting on the shelf and that may be the simple way to go! But then again I may go with a sheet metal? Time will tell..........

I'm just doing a little ***** 390, Robert is the one spending his retirement $$$ on his big bad 427. It doesn't really matter, he had no idea how to drive his old setup, Miss Daisy will just be getting to church a little faster!

GTOs are still going to spank him

Clown I knew that was coming the street and the track is 2 diff places buddy. Clown the old motor did do a 9.87 in the 1/4 with a drag pack on the rear and with my stock rims and tires on the front. Now the BREMBO big brakes or off the car we will see what the new drag pack will do.

Plus clown the GTO did pass me until I broke loose and he hit NOS.

How about an edelbrock or holley intake ? I heard they work well with the added bonus , a REAL hood can be installed to clear it

Holley makes a low ram for cathedral port only, I'm using rectangular port heads, I don't like the looks of the Edelbrock! I also have a Caraviggio blower hood waiting to go to paint.

You mean you guys spin your tires? Mine spin a little bit when I stomp on it off the line but mostly just a little squeal! I have to hold the brake to get them to really spin!

I didn't know this was turning into a thread battle!

Robert will take the fame and glory on this one, I'm just building a boat anchor and keeping it cheap and reliable! 800-900 will be plenty fast for me and my wallet! Got to put the foot down somewhere!

Need to start saving for a C6Z after the motor is done! Need something new.

800 to 900 rwhp is more than any one is in need of. I may or may not get a c6 now a good friend has a 2010 conv with ever add on that it can have. Auto with only 500 miles on it but wanting more than retail, may just wait on a good used c7 conv. One more thing if and when I do it will stay 100% stock. Robert

As for now the guy buying my stock motor has pushed things back so my new motor is getting put off a little while. I am going to focus on tune adjustments with my stock motor and go after some 9 sec passes this spring!

And I'm going on vacation for a few weeks!
