Default Early LS3 stroker results

These are airflow results only from a couple of HPT logs. You can tune from airflow's just as if you were on a dyno. I'm getting things dialed in before the final dyno tweaks.

This project has been a 3 year nightmare for me, these early results are very promising. This last step is a set of extensively modified TR 235 cylinders heads, flow sheet is included. The camshaft would be considered small by many, I'm really not interested in basing a camshaft decision on how it sounds although motor does sounds healthy @ idle of 850rpm.

Nice flow numbers!

This is seriously intriguing to me. Are you building a 416? And are you using a 24x or 58x reluctor wheel? I have contemplated this for my Z using ported LS3 heads, but I understand that all the front accessories may need to be changed out for a LS3 swap.
