Just got my car back from Mike Kleman @ Rapid Motorsports who I highly recommend and would refer to anyone - his service, workmanship, and attention to detail are excellent. Also - big thanks go out to Joel (JS) AtoZ auto who guided me to Rapid, helped with my part selection, and got me a referral discount on the install from Mike. Chili's on me at the track!

The numbers: 449RWHP, 398 RWTQ at a very safe 12:7 AFR throughout the curve, numbers are SAE corrected w/ stock 3.42s, stock unmolested LS6 heads!
Initial Impressions: The car drives like stock on the highway with no bucking/surging at 1500RPMS and up in any gear. The car begins to pull very hard at 3500RPMs and by 5 it's pullin like a raped ape. At idle the car has a little shake to it and a very nice lope with the B&Bs, idles around 925.
Overall I am extremely impressed with the tune Mike put on the car, road manners, and my new found power. I will say this cam needs a set of gears to take full advantage of the new powerband. Can't wait to get some new timeslips.
The cam specs are 237/242 and 603-609 on a 113 LS...installs closer to 112 according to Mike, this car is not a daily driver but it can be driven in stoplight traffic.
I have a dyno graph is someone can host it for me.
I am going to record a sound session tonight when I get home.
Don - Need to add the "safety" parts first, gears, clutch, and a whole lot of seat time before I touch Rob - maybe I'll get him going over the bridge on the Hooters crawl.
