Default Any Guesses?

I had a stock LS2 with CNC LS3 heads, Comp 469 cam, fast 102, headers and ported TB. Had 508 at the wheels.

Same top, but an LS3 strocker bottom end (416").

Any guesses on what the the strocker will put out?

I will have results by the end of the week.

I like that one!

Unfortunately, the car needs a better driver than me.

The older I get, the faster I was......

With the cam I have, the low end suffered, but with h additional inches, that problem should be solved.

Thanks!

Min. should be 1lb ft per cubic inch increase- so + 37 tq ; and at least 1 1/4 per cubic inch increase of HP - so + 46 hp

This added to previous numbers.

The big problem is the guy that owns the car. He keeps saying, "while the engine is out........"

I like the Tick master and clutch bleeder. Hope it works as good as it looks.

I hear ya. The last two rounds of engine mods/replacement I kept saying "well, it's only $xxx more to do this and it's way easier now that the heads are off, engine is out, drivetrain is out, (insert excuse here)". Scope creep is a killer on your time and your wallet!

It dives great, but I had a Tick master installed and it needs to be adjusted for more travel.
