If mine is out of the chassis shop before yours, we can test and tune your new engine in my vette. It would be pretty convenient, since we are nearly neghibors. What is the new engine anyway?

Very nice set up John you never really have let the cat out of the bag so to say on your new bullet. If your willing to share some specs inquiring minds want to know :smt003. Is it still a 615? What size are the heads and what do they flow, compression? I/ we understand if you dont want to share.

That one's a mild 540. I've still got the 615 which will be a lil' bit nastier with redone heads and intake.
