SpinFast Installed. Retune Scheduled Tomorrow!
Hey Guys, I got the SpinFast in this afternoon. Painted Flat black to match the stock. SOTP feel is great. Spins the tires at 80 in 3rd gear, and spins them again when I shift to 4th right at 100. The sound is deeper, especially with the hood open. With the hood closed, you really cant tell. Install went pretty easy, minor adjusting on the washers for the fuel rails. Here is a video clip of the car at idle. Sounds Great to me!

Here is a pic of the engine bay with it installed (notice i polished and ported the throttle body while I was there)
I will have Dyno results tomorrow afternoon. Mike at Gforce will be tuning it.

Spinmonster did the porting for 299
Had some washers laying around that worked just fine, and my tuner gave me some LS1 O-rings for free.

Well, the Dyno results are in!
402.34 HP 399.87 TQ.
Here is the graph
So it got 20 RWHP and 24 RWTQ at Peak, and the numbers under the curve are even more.
It was pulling timing hard before the retune, but got almost exactly the same peak numbers. The timing was being pulled from 3500-4800. Now, it is not. 12.7- 12.8 AFR all the way across.

It is NOT the first time doing this type of job, I changed my C5 LS1 manifold to the C5 LS6 Manifold. This one went smoother than that one.
