Default Another H/C Project (finished)

Got it done. Thanks to the guys at SpeedInc for the parts and tune. My friend Hauln1203 for his hoist and help. My car made 431rwhp & 388tq. SI5 cam, Trick Flow215s, AFR headers,SLP balancer. And a bunch of other boltons.

I learned a couple of things, get a truck torque wrench(200 to 600ftlbs) for the balancer bolt.
Bleed the a/c and remove the condensor and radiator together, its a lot easier to get the cam out.

And thanks to all the forum members on here, I learned enough to do this project

Congrats on gettin' her done. Were your numbers on a Dynojet? How were your heads setup? I ask, because I got vastly different results with similar components, back when I did mine. My heads were custom finished by TEA, because they were one of the first TF sets sold. Your TQ #s are about 40 less than mine, and it was tuned on a Mustang Dyno, which reads lower than a D-jet.
