It drove so smoothely, that I had to check and see if this wasn't a stock engine. We all have a choice of where to take our cars, and I keep going back to ECS, for more power. But more importantly I keep going back because of the overall dedication these guys have to doing thier jobs, and getting it perfect for the customer. to you guys, and to the continued success of ECS.

Thanks George, glad your happy with it!!

Any other goodies?
Stroked, Trick flow heads. This engine was in my road race Coupe for VIR last year, I was going to put it in my new chassis, but George found himself in need and the rest of the my car is not finished anyway... so I have time to assemble a 427 now for me.
He broke at the GLEN I think two weeks ago, and he is at a forum cruise today, not bad.
I made a fair amount more power with it when it was in my car, since I had the Fast intake and larger headers etc, but that is plenty enough power for a road racer, and got him into it rather inexpensively. Here's a vid of it in action, the car filming was a stock H/C motor, we put a better breather system on it for the 7k downshifts now to eliminate the puffs of smoke, but you can get the idea.

Rob Z is definitely going to be hard to catch!

Take a look at some of Rob Farley's times, he has the same cam as you but with the additional components to finish the package properly, and he is running deep in the tens and the car weighs 3600+ lbs. You can easily run a consistent 11.5 without going crazy.
