Mike, I am a little confused as to why you had to be a smart ass with me? I just simply ask how you turn out with your build?
I am also confused as to what your goals are, you said you were trying to get to 700 rwhp but only made 699 rwhp. Your post on 03/10/2009 (shown below for ease) states your goal was 1000 rwhp & 1000 + rwtq give or take a few. Well 300 rwhp short is taking a few for sure.
Reading through you build it sounds like you pulled out all of the stops and didn’t hold back on anything. So now my question is if it not the KB system holding you down 300 rwhp from your goal, just what is it? cubic inches, compression ratio, cam? Maybe this new inlet I keep reading about will add that 300 rwhp, if so it must be sucking through a straw now.
I would have thought any shop worth their weight in dog shit could have gotten you closer to your goals then this, given the fact you spared no expense. I don’t care who you are 300rwhp is a long way from 1000rwhp.
You must have used a shop with a 5 million dollar facility, and a 5 dollar mechanic, where you get a 5 dollar job? Sounds like you should have gotten $3.69 back in change. Or did you know you would be short 300 rwhp of your goal before you started this build?
Below is your post from 03/10/2009
TPE Kenne Bell Blown 434 LSX and Hannibal Lector Cam**
________________________________________
Well im not as well known on this site compared to corvette forum and svt as i got an unwelcome back push from a mod a while back on here. So anyway with that said i just wanted to share my new build with you guys as well that dont belong on either of those other two forums.
Well as some of you may know I had some issues when i tore down my 346 so i decided to go to bigger cubes and figured oh what the hell we will just go to a 408 and lots of boost. After some long thinking and many hours on the phone with Jeff we have come to some solid conclusions and im proud to say that Jeff and TPE is going to be building me a great motor that is going to absolutly make a brutal street car. So we ditched the whole 408-416 ls3 idea and came to a conclusion of an lsx 434.

That is the jist of it for now. Much more coming including complete pictures of the build as well as all install info all the way up to the final tune on the car. The car will be breathing through a set of full 2" headers into a complete 3" x pipe all the way out with 3" straight pipes out the back(no mufflers no cats). Some of you who have noticed my other posts may have seen im not the quiet type. I told Jeff i wanted the baddest sounding and most rediculous cam possible while still having a decent driveability field as well as not losing any power by going to big.
With this said I am a younger guy and i just want to make it clear that this build will be a timely fashioned build depending on my cash flow and will most likey be completed in the next several months depending on how well things go for me.
Any questions just ask guys I am extremly pleased with everything TPE has offered me and would just like to say thanks to Jeff times a billion cause i would never have gotten this far without him and his wealth of knowledge.
Other things that are done to my car:
Kenne Bell 2.8 fully ported inlet manifold
8 rib
heavy duty tensioner assembly
etc
Car is mini tubed and fully caged
345 bfg tires on the back
full wet nitrous system
etc etc etc etc it could go on all day lol...
