I have had a few people ask about what we did for Curtis's engine

here are the details and engine porn :

We started with a low mileage 08' L76 6.0L Gen IV aluminum block, refreshed with new Clevite bearings, rings, etc
-#823 GM rectangle port cylinder heads, resurfaced (just clean up)
- installed PRC .650" dual valve spring kit w/ titanium retainers
- Comp Cams trunion upgrade kit installed in GM rocker arms
- Comp Cam grind 226/234 dur. 598/601 lift 113+2 LSA
- TSP 7.400" .080 wall pushrod set
- GM LS2 HD timing chain and gear set
- GM LS7 lifter set w/ LS2/3/7 lifter trays
- GM MLS .054" head gaskets
- ARP head bolt set
- GM new LS2 timing cover/ sensor kit
- LS2/3 valley cover
- GM Corvette harmonic balancer
- ARP crank balancer bolt
- Melling hp oil pump
- GM LS2/3 Corvette oil pan kit
- GM LS3 intake manifold assembly, with fuel rails, 42# injectors
- LS2 "Silverblade" 90mm dbw throttle body
- powder coated black LS3 valve cover set w/ stainless fasteners
- GM LS3/7 coil packs w/ factory brackets, stainless fasteners
- AC Delco spark plug wire set and iridium spark plugs
- -4AN steam ports
- all new sensors (ie crank, cam, map, maf LS3/7, knock)

with this setup and tune, we are estimating approx 530-550hp/ 520 tq @ crank (450rwhp/ 420rwtq)

He wanted a great n/a engine that didn't "break the bank" have plenty of power that could be daily driven running the a/c or head out for track events, without the drive-ability issues associated a "overbuilt" engine for mainly street use
