You are much farther along than I am.
The system is sitting on the shelf because my daily driver (VW CC) ate the turbo on it. I'm almost certain that I'm getting "compressor/turbine wheel on their respective housing" ringing. Now I have to probably swap connecting rods in and get that going again before I can drag the Escalade in and give it some much needed boost. It's hard going back to NA after forced induction.
Sounds like you are enjoying it.

My NA tune sucks compared to how it drove with the turbo. The good news is you really have to screw something up to wreck a low compression forged NA engine built for boost.

I got 6.05 before I broke the input shaft. I know it had a 5.99 in it, but I just didnt get the timeslip to prove it. Didnt get a whole lot of time to dial in the slicks either.
I started the truck today, but the radiator appears to be screwed since it was dumping coolant on the ground. Best I can tell its coming out between the core and the end tank. Always something.

WCCH stage 2 L92s. They been shaved a lot, and have LY6 inconel exhaust valves. Theyve been beat on quite a bit. Melted one chamber and had it welded up, and its been fine since.
