My old combo made 444/400 RWHP/RWTQ. With the ported FAST 92/LS2 TB, it should be around 460-465 RWHP. We are almost there.

From about 3 hours ago....
SHE'S ALIVE....ALIVE!!!
1st dyno pull 451rwhp/401rwtq
2nd dyno pull 454rwhp/401rwtq
Just when they thought they hit the peak....470rwhp/413rwtq. They didn't expect that kind of jump so they didn't video it. I'll post the sheet once I have it. More tuning and data logging tomorrow.

Picked up the BEAST this evening. The official dyno numbers are 470rwhp/413rwtq. It was a blast to drive home even driving mostly conservatively 
The Borla exhaust sounds awesome, but it's definitely too loud inside the car for the wife.
Rick is definitely "THE MAN!!!"

Women spend money on bags and shoes, we spend it on our cars. 
I'm really **** about having a clean shop. I must have swepped 15 times below both cars from all the road dirt and grime. I'm also pretty particular about how I go about performing work.
We have been building engines for a while. I built my first engine back in 1983. We have a CTSV LSA engine that I built and ran 9.63 @ 142 couple of weeks ago at MIR (with the baby seat in the back). Let us know if we can build something for your needs.

Yesterday evening I went back to the Magnaflow as the Borla Stingers, though excellent sounding, were too loud inside the car for my preferences...and most importantly...the wife. Below are the video clips of the exhaust note with the stock LS1 I had with only a CAI and Diablo InTune program then with all Rick's goodies from his car and my Magnaflow. They sure do "FLOW" when not matted to the stock exhaust components!
