Still everyone knows you are the kind of guy at heart who would help anyone in a heartbeat.

Carmen did a great job and the results are among the best I have seen without a FAST manifold for a 232 cam. The FAST would really help a lot especially in the TQ low down and at peak. I would bet it would see near 500rwhp and 445 rwtq which through 4.10's is about 510/465 and is as state of the art as it gets. Great job Vette Docs!

Great cam spec choice too! Wait, that was me. Great job Spin!!!

When you're ready to have a FAST prepped, give me a call. Install is free of course. If youre not locked on the tune, thats free too if it needs to be touched up for the manifold but I doubt it will need much if anything.

Great end to a long story.

I still would like to see that dyno sheet. I have the FAST and my friends are recommending the vette doctors for a H&C install.

Congrats, I got your PM and the numbers look great. Yes the PORTED FAST will certainly get you close to the magic # 500+

BTW I talked to VETTE DOCTORS and they didnt seem to be able to help me with quotes of achievable HP/TQ with the 228/232 cam I was anticipating. I will try ECS and see what they can get with the cam they used in c6 dvl ls3 Thanks for posting Leon
