Default H/C headers done
Finished product with before and after dyno numbers. 99 FRC, (first dyno was with zero mods) I have to go back to the original dyno for a good comparison. Vid is the first startup leak check, eng now runs pretty quiet, still unsure of the pushrod length.
Blackwing, 85mm Maf with hiflow airbridge, LS6 intake, LS6 injectors, untouched Z06 243 heads, Cometic .040 gaskets, TSP228 114LSA cam, LS7 lifters, 7.350 pushrods, LS2 timing chain, LS6 oil pump, LS2 pulley, LS3 water pump, KOOKS with hi-flow cats, flowmaster catback. Mike Norris came down for the dyno tune. Let me know your thoughts.

It always feels go to hear the car come back to life after teardown.!!

Also, looks like it cleaned up real well.

Those are good numbers, but I think there's some more power hiding in there...
