just checked.. pistons are not in yet..
but we're also working out why im getting 80 psi at the fuel rail with the walbro pump and racetronix kit installed.. tbss intake and fuel rails.. and using a 04 vette fpr to adjust for the return style system.

For those freaking out about the rod bolts, aftermarket forged rods come with decent rod bolts anyway and can be upgraded to the arp 2000 rod bolts very easily. The CR seems right on to me for possible boost later. I also like the cam selectoon, but I tend to err on the conservative side but then again it seems the smaller cammed truck seems to run just as good as the huge cam tracks for the most part. You've got a solid build going, it is going to be fun with the instant tq you're going to get. My old 418 setup was the most fun setup I've had or driven so far.
