Interesting to see dyno numbers. I have really similar building going on, forged ls1 with 10.65:1 compression.
Did you calculate dynamic compression?

Congrats on getting everything done!!!!

Just because I hate all these car shows that rebuild engines/cars in 30 or 60 minutes of air time, could you give us a ballpark of what this cost?

Thanks and enjoy your summer!!!

Thank you! We are shooting around 700whp to 800whp on E85. It was built to do it reliably and without putting the engine on edge, but rather conservative.

I'm sure you'll get every bit of 750 on E85 even with a conservative tune. E85 is no joke, but expensive lol burns way quicker than pump gas 93

The Compression is 10.2:1. I did not post much but look into blending the heads... Brian Tooley informed my builder of this.




You can see how the heads were blended between the intake and exhaust side to help on detonation. These are also TFS 220cc as cast headsm

Thank you!!

Okay, so the car came with TFS heads, BTR dual valve springs, yella terra rockers, long tube headers, mid pipe and BB Bullets. As you saw everything he did, cleaning the bottom end, the studs, forging it, new camshaft, installing a blower kit with a flip drive and the fuel system and getting the heads reworked... I am in it 10.6k plus the AA blk kit, twin pump and IW 8 rib w/flip kit. Now.... I was very fortunate to go through a professional builder who offered to throw the kit on too. As far as hours... this thing has over 80 hours in the engine build with the blower and fuel system...


This car is my once in a lifetime car, I wanted something that when I looked at, I wouldn't tell myself I wish I had done something else.. or done more.... so the worst financial decision of my life but I completely LOVE IT!!!

You got a good deal and he got in done in a reasonable amount of time, just over a month, wow! Many of us have endured 6 months to a year for these kinds of things. Great job!

I think my next move is getting this wing painted and installed.

But for now, got the alignment handled. Installed the new black lug nuts versus the cheesy factory one, and charged up some ice cold AC!

The car was sitting at 184 degrees in 80 degree weather and oil temp at 215. Can't wait to get past the break in tune..
