I slept on the couch actually. I fell asleep in front of the boob tube and woke up about 8 hours later. Grabbed a chicken breast outta the fridge then went back to sleep for another 2 hours before I had to get up for work.

A little update on this thing !!!!!!!!!!!
4th gear pulls from 100-150 and 5th gear pulls from 100-170 are absolutely amazing. A h/c 346 can't compare to a h/c 402, even if the h/c is reused. LOL. The extra torque just pins you to your seat. Both of my passengers tonight couldn't believe it. One of them is a master tech for a gm dealership up here and he recently test drove the new ZR1 for an out of state customer that was complaining of a faulty traction control message. Customer said its always on. John drove it and said there was nothing wrong, just don't give it so much gas. LOL. When he compared the pull of my car to the new ZR1 I was shocked. He said close, but the ZR1 has me by a little. Oh well, I'm N/A not supercharged. He said you got a good point there.
Anyone on the fence about doing a stroker ?? If you can afford it, then do it. Don't second guess it. LG Motorsports can handle the job too. They exceeded my expectations.

I have followed your build threads and so forth. Awesome to hear how the car actually feels now. My 404 is being built this week and I am coming from 475rwhp, 430ftlbs HCI from my LS2. I figured low 500rwhp with the 404, yet I was a little concerned about only gaining 30-40rwhp at peak. But after reading your experiences, looks like the power under the curve is going to be an amazing difference! I am going with a little bit bigger cam, stage III 243 heads (340cfm, 240), ported FAST/TB and supporting mods. I hope I will be as satisfied as you. BTW, what gears do you have in your Vette?

Texas to Michigan 1200+ mile trip that overall averaged 23 mpg was a lot lower then what this motor will do, mostly because of varying the speeds to assist final break in, and running the a/c. When I am able to take her on a trip up north with the cruise control set at 70 or so in 6th gear and no A/C robbing my mpg, I'll bet 28 mpg all day. Should be making a 120 mile run soon. Should give an idea at least. I'll fill up here, and then when I get there and report back the results. Stay tuned....

Well courtesy of Brandon aka X Factor Pittbulls and his 10 second 415 ci Stroker, 4.10 geared 99 z28 I do. He got out on me the first "just for fun" run, and then the second run we were dead even. I just wish we could've took the run a little higher (MPH), but due to traffic that was it for the day. Thanks again for coming out Brandon. How did the pictures you took turn out ?? Can you email them to me ??

Maybe Brandon can chime in. He rode with me and knows the car is fast, and we also "raced, for fun" twice. So I'll let him post his opinion on my car.

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments, and the glad I made it home safe posts. There were a few times on the road I was on the verge of falling asleep. Caffeine can only do so much. Again thanks for the kind words.
