Happy modding,

Richard

Congrats! Just shows that the hard work you put in is finally paying off!

Can't wait. I'm really interested since I have a 4.8L that I threw on the dyno with a 220/224 112lsa cam pushing 309rwhp on the dyno tune that I paid for.

If i phrased it wrong, sorry. Im right around that mark. And i was just using it as a example that even with bolt ons. cam. heads, AND FI, any 4.8/5.3 shouldnt only make 400, more like 500 or more. Ill still see what i can get back from my tune and post in the dyno forum
