I didnt go with the all pro heads... I will only be running 14-16 PSI through the TVS 2300, and therefore do not need the ALL PRO heads for $6000....

TrickFlow makes some 6 bolt heads but they do NOT have the same flow numbers as my L92's Stage 2.5 from WCCH... mine have MORE flow than the trick flows...

20-25+ PSI and you run into reliability issues... I could have easily done a twin turbo set up, but choose to run with a TVS instead...

also for the 654,363,645,000 time i am NOT building a 1/4 track truck... if I was I sure wouldnt start with a heavy *** extra cab... I would tub out a single cab short bed... I am building a one off show truck with 750+ rwhp(without the bottle - 800+ with the bottle - 100 shot)... But with the power and set up i have, other than traction I should be in the high tens with a good tune... but again, Im not out to set any stupid records hahahaha...


MOCK UP STARTS THIS WEEK! THANK YOU REXer!

So your gonna stay with the current L92 Stage 2.5 set up? I wasn't sure how hard you were gonna run the TVS2300, I thought maybe you were gonna utilize the 6 bolt set up on the LSX block. But I guess no need if your only going to go 14-16 Lbs of boost.

Obviously its not gonna be a Track truck. The time and money on the paint alone not to mention everything else thats custom on it... LOL

Looking forward to seeing the mock up and final installation of the new power plant!!!

I looked at a few more shops, all of them were approved but the one i posted up, which is brand new and smaller, they wanted $1.35 sq ft and the landlord seemed like an ***, he wouldnt negotiate any terms or pricing at all...
I found a much bigger shop for 2 year lease for only $1.05 per sq ft and worked a deal for a two months free... the landlord has to fix a few things, paint the floor, install some bigger dome lights, but that should only take a week.
Once i get moved in I will post some pics and have a G2G/BBQ... anyone within driving distance should cruise by... sometime in spring... March/April...

Nice...ultra-reliability and big, big off-idle power on tap, with suave street manners. The only thing I might do in addition is run 40-50 inches of muffler so you can't even hear it running.
