No, have not put it on a dyno. before and after would have been nice. I have a dyno about 3 miles from my house but just have not gotten around to it. Not sure what the numbers would mean without a before run on the same dyno.

As far as worth it....depends on the owner. I'm glad I did it and like the difference. It's a bit of work and $$$. $/hp maybe not good value. And the fun and experience factor and if you enjoy that kind of work then it's a great project. If you just want the most hp/$ then nitrous would be the way to go. Big $$$ and continuous anytime big hp, then supercharged is the way to go.

It all depends on what you want.

I was thinking about doing the swap because it looks cool and might make more power up top but with a plate system I think it would be even more of a bitch to make it all fit in there. your's looks good though don't get me wrong!

Hey guys, I'm planning on doing this to my 6.2, what pulley and belt did you use so it would clear the TB. I have everything but those 2. So any advice and input would be appreciated.

Pulled the trigger on a take-off on ebay. I'll post up here what I get and hopefully someone can help me figure out what all else I need.

Sapper, one thing to consider is when you put your plate in there you'll have the TB spaced out another 3/4-1" might make things even more of a PITA. Can't wait to see though, cuz if it works out I'm coming over to see how it's set up then doing mine!
