I'm sure you'll enjoy the power. What's the compression? Which BTR cam? Why the small heads?

Compression is 11.5 to 1.
BTR cam is the LS7 STG3 238/250 - 652/632 - 113.

Had the heads and Brian Tooley said put them on they won't hurt the overall result. Appears he was right as the motor put out more rwhp than a similar motor with larger heads.

I suppose I should start saving for a new differential now.

Looks like good results.

Was the similar motor tested on the same chassis dyno? Do you have any track results yet?
