That wasn't nice Pittman... how else am I gonna earn the name Bubba in here?

Blu is that what pray's cam specs were? I PM'd him cause Pat G. said that my came was very close to his. I could only PRAY (get it?? HAH) that I can get close to his #'s with my combo. If I hit my goal of 550rwhp and 500rwtq I'll be tickled pink! Anything over is just going to be flipping saweet! Anything less and I'll be searching for the power forever. Knowing my luck she'll put out a stout 500rwhp/450rwtq and I'll sell the FN CAR!!!! LOL!

Yes I will be dynoing on the same dyno and same tuner. Just so I have a apples to apples comparison. I'm thinking the 444rwhp was a little low reading on that dynojet due to the 130mph traps but i could be wrong. It was really really great weather those days i went down. I usually pick up about 2mph from good weather to great weather at best though. Not 4-5mph though... so we'll see what happens this year i guess. I'm getting really nervous i'm not going to get the car together in time to be tuned.

Still need:
Timing chain set-thinking cloyes adjustable?
Need to find some shims to adjust rocker height for correct "WIPE"
Get push rods but my damn cam wont be here till 20th the day before I take the car apart.
Friend needs to bring down the ARP head bolts for me that go with the motor
Need to have the heads finished being milled and put back together-should be this week
Need to pick up a Racetronix hot wire kit for the fuel pump
header gaskets-picking them up from GM
Was looking for a LS2 oil pan-or just keep mine and replace the gaskets
pick up fluids still-should happen this week
head gaskets-cometic at .40 thickness but not sure what bore size to go with with a 4.040 bore?
The shortblock needs assembled-this weekend minus cam
Pick up my rear from cyclerage23
Need to figure out if I need spacers for my valve covers with trick flow heads and yella terra roller rockers

Thats just what i can think of off the top of my head right now at work. I'm sure theres things i'm gonna forget

What pushrods are you planning to get. Cloyes is a nice setup on the chain.

I'd suggest Manton for the pushrods http://www.mantonpushrods.com/. Some of the best in the business, got with 3/8 or larger if they will clear.

Update:
Heads are milled to 66cc chambers and look pretty good

Quench measured and comes in at .046 which is good with a .040 head gasket

Short block goes together tonight, have a rod belt stretch gauge, bad *** digital torque wrench that can recalculate your torque swing if you can not torque in one swing! NICE!

Have 2 test springs to check roller rocker tip WIPE pattern-just need a dial gauge and some shims not sure where i can come up with those.

My engine and clutch are sold, need to pick up some more gaskets, headers should be here today or monday i'm thinking from ARH with off road xpipe.

Cam should be here next week 247/251-624/624-112+4advance 108deg on intake valve centerline-so need to get a cam degree tool set to put that baby in perfect and a cloyes adjustable timing gear set for next week.

Yea but he will still run 11.0hs for at least a year. No worries here.
