Rate my vette project
2005 z51 MN6 car to start with, has 93000 high way miles on it 
Parts list
LG Pro z06 long tube headers
Z06 bimode mufflers
sunset orange creations exhast commander Dash (to control my bimode mufflers)
Z06 rear transaxle
pfadt engine and trans mounts
Killer bee 2 intake
Textralia oz700 rebuild kit
engine work being performed (already a 416ci LS3)
new bearings throughout
new gaskets
new seals
new rings
piston detailing (suposidly to help the flame front burn more evenly )
oil system cleanup (increasing oil pressure)
Morel tie-bar lifters
New Mnaley nextek springs
Rebalance rotating assy
rocker trunnion kit
Double roller timing kit
Also a slight bump in compression through thinner head gaskets... should bump me up to 11.9:1, cam is a 236/246 on a 114+2 LSA with .612/.612 lift
Were hoping for 550-560 rwhp on this build

560rwhp - Not with ported L92s, a ported L76 intake and 11.9:1, but maybe with TFS 235s/ported FAST 102 combo and a 13.1:1.
530rwhp is a reasonable/ideal figure with regards to your combo.

funny you would say the 102 is worth anything??? i actually had that manifold, and we lost almost 10 rwhp on my GTO with this same motor + the fast 102,
most everyone im talking too about the 102 says it is an utter waste of cash, and even both of the tuners ive worked with have agreed.
I dunno
i just know that i was glad to see that 102 disapear...oh and one more thing, stock TF235 heads flow less intake @ 4.125 than my WCCH ported L92's @4.030 (the caveat, is that the TF's do flow slightly more exhaust side... but i think its a difference of like 7.2cfm)
just thought i would toss that in there

There is no way the L92 Head will outperform TFS 225/ 235. The l92 Head
is cheap horsepower and is a pretty good deal but the fact still remains for those who want serious performance and can afford it, the Trick Flow/ Fast combo makes more power and the evidence is in dynographs and quarter mile time slips.

Keep me updated on the results and good luck obtaining your 560rwhp

Plans sound good! Good move on the z06 rear, our 05 rears won't take much power before the case breaks.
Will be a 10 second machine with a sharp driver if you can get to a track with decent elevation and DA.
Are you building for road course, drag strip, or just cruising around?

I like your combination of compression ratio and camshaft. And the 416 cubes (versus about 378 in a stock LS3) will help you in your horsepower goal.
We are looking forward to reading good things about the results
