Erl 454
Here is my setup:
Vig 3600 Stall
ERL 454
Fast102
EWP
Kooks steeped Headers 1-7/8 steeped to 2"
Corsa full 3" exhaust
Cartek heads + Cam
NW102TB
The LS3 that I'm taking out turned out to be good (Vacuum leak) Julio dynoed it and it made 470rwhp... I'm still doing the ERL Shortblock though...

Rick,
I hate to see that you broke your motor, but it sounds like you will have a monster when you are done. I think I'm right behind you with the trans rebuild. Are you going with Century? If so I'd love to hear how that process goes. I'm not looking forward to the down time while I ship the trans off and wait for it to come back.
Sometime before I die I want to build a big CI N/A LSx motor. I'm just hoping it is at a time of my choosing, not like what you are going through.
Good luck with the build.

Since they warranty the tranny, I don't see how anyone could go somewhere else.

Sorry you lost your motor.
From past experience, put the header swap at the bottom of your funding list. Switching from 1 3/4 to 1 7/8" primary tubes will make very little difference in how the motor runs. Probably as little as 3-5 hp, and only above 5500RPM.

1 3/4 headers did not hurt my car.... it hit 9s on 7 of 10 times the same afternoon. But you know Josh and he is doing your tune, I'd just get his advice.

Others that have hit 9s with the 1-3/4s as well (subfloor)

Not to hijack your thread, but I'm getting an ERL 454 also. I have a 402 now, but I'm bored and needed to change something.
I'm subscribing to watch!! Sounds like your going to have a monster.
