Car was finished 1 day ahead of the two week stated time. I will pick it up on Saturday and show pics and video once it is home. Lingefelter also spotted a bad seal and welded my cat back exhaust, thanks.
For now, all I have is some great dyno numbers on a very driveable 'vette.
What is going on? I actually have less torque from about 2,500-3,500 rpm than stock? I will get with them on Monday. Any input is appreciated.

Now here's the question I always ask myself when contemplating such an upgrade.
The cost of this is a bit over six grand. With it, you'll realize about the same horsepower gain that you would from a Magnacharger (albeit for a bit less money).
What's the reasoning for going with internal mods vs. forced induction? I don't have a position one way or the other, I'm just trying to see why people (who hopefully know more than I do) go this route. Thanks
six grand is installed, that is the cost of just the Magnacharger. I think the installed price of the SC is about $9,000.

THIS WAS MY PACKAGE FROM 21ST CENTURY. JOHN AND THE BOYS DID A GREAT JOB!!
Well, I dropped my '02 Roadster down at Lingenfelter last Friday and I just got an e-mail of the stock HP (almost stock, I did add Corsa Indy's) from them.
At the rear wheels:
Baseline was 312.7 hp 337.1 lbs ft of torque
I will keep this thread updated for those considering the process.

Did they send you the baseline dyno results without asking? Just wondered, as you know, my car's been down there for several days. I also sent you an email with a couple of questions, if you wouldn't mind checking you messages!
Here is a LPE C6 in the same boat w/360 tq. I suppose 424HP is OK these days. Blazeone hit the nail on the head about the trade off. Peak numbers are far less important than the actual curve itself. But peak numbers sell packages (whats the pckg called?) and what a sacrifice, look at the size of that cam. Please tell me that the slugs were flycut and the heads were shaved because that log needs much more dynamic/static compression. How much time do you spend 6000 rpm+?
I assume you have 4:10's. I can't imagine building/ordering a street motor and not making max torque the #1 priority but thats just me.
Take it to the track and see what it traps.

Rear Wheel Horse Power: 424.2
Rear Wheel Torque: 359.1
Minor note: deleted the X-pipe from the order.
I don't get it, ive got 368 rwtq with just headers/exhaust and tune
