Thanks guys
LME had the engine for awhile but it's all worth it. My tuner wants to try and go with a 3.55" instead of a 4" so here to hoping it won't slip very bad....I plan on doing the flip drive setup in the future.

Another delay....I was sent out the wrong clutch. The RST instead of the RXT!! But Mike Mak was a pleasure to work with in this ordeal and McLeod sent out RXT clutch discs!!!

First startup and rev of the beast!! This is open headers, not tuned, no blower. Still a bunch of work left to do but it was put together enough for this great clip!!

Nice build. Also have a 402 from LME... works great.
I am curious if you are using the MAF, and if so is the BOV being placed so close messing with it.

I always heard closest to the throttle body and furthest from the MAF without disruption. The guy who is building my car chose that location and I trust his opinion as he has built allot of Vette's/LS motors. I haven't noticed any problems at all but I am not sure if there is something in the tune that is helping it out also. I have seen a couple of videos of the TiaL BOV with a centri supercharger like mine but they all seem to stay in vent too long for some reason. Mine actuates, dumps the pressure then closed back like it should.

Nice build, I would highly recommend purchasing a high capacity radiator and 160 thermostat.
