422 in, some questions
Finally got my car back from ARE today, they tailored it to my front door.
I haven't beat on it too hard, but its definitely strong! I've taken to 6k two times.
It did 475 rwhp and 467 rwtq.
11.5:1 CR
Stage III 6.0L heads w 2.08 intakes, not sure exhaust
1 3/4 TPIS
LS6 Intake
Vararam
42# Lucas Injectors
254/254 .648/.648 w Yella Terra 1.8 RR's
Hopefully once I get some miles on it, it will loosen up and get 10 more hp or so. LSX is next mod.
The oil temperature is higher than it was in my 346. Is this because the motor is breaking in and is 'tight' right now?
Also, I downloaded the PCM, and noticed that the cylinder size is still 5.69x L. Does this need to be changed? It has some slight bucking at low rpm, that I'd like to get rid of, but can live with if its just a result of the lower lsa.
Thanks in advance for all your time and comments.

How much do you think each would give, hp/tq wise?

The bucking is pretty normal. That car NEEDS air and fuel and "coasting" along at 1300-1500 rpm the car will let you know it wants some gas pedal and rpm's
