but ive been racing the car for over a year with the numbers in my sig with the stock shortblock and heads, shifting at 6500. now i know thats no excuse and it could go at any time but my goal is to get the same rwhp numbers that i get on the bottle, but to have it all the time.
So ill im shooting for is 480, all the time. ill be happy with that for now haha.
6.0 this winter, if this setup last through the summer

engines dont travel miles, so the mileage is kind of irrelevant. My vette has 150k miles on it and runs like new. My TA has already been rebuilt at 90k. hmmm. All in how its used.

Lol, that damn oil pressure sensor gets us everytime....
I think everyone with an F-body that has actually ever been under the hood has broken one at some point...
Good luck though, it seems to be coming along nicely.
Read that and laughed as I have done tons of intake/head swaps and just as i said nope not everyone... wouldnt you know at 2:30 am i just broke mine after i read this post! Damn you mike! There is always tomorrow lol build looks nice way to knock it out!

IT RUNS!!!! tunes a little off.......couldnt get it to run for crap for a few hours though,,,, boy those bad NEW map sensors will EFF you up!!!
had to put the 28's in it, still wouldnt crank. changed the map, and it was good then.
need to put the 60s back in, and the new rails and regulater. and hook up a return line (evap mod) ive been told works well.
STAYING OUTA THE BOOST SUUUUUCKS.
I know what your going through, I thought I had a bad brand new map sensor also but the 2 outside wires of the map adapter harness were in the wrong cavaties. I swapped them around and then it fired up and ran no problems.
