Thanks for letting me know Marcus, they seemed like they have a good rep on LS1tech but maybe don't advertise as much as they used to.

No problem Paul, I guess you can't really rev past 2k with no shoes on nice Avatar photo buddy.

Yes Erick at HKE built my engine and quite a few for my buddies. People send him engines from all over the United States.

Good stuff Tony. I see we share the same taste in many things about our cars

Thank you sir, much appreciated.

I might be going that way also, I have a 383 block for my 69 that came with it, nothing special just two bolt main, LS not in the picture rite now.. for my project. Thanks Keith

Hey Keith, can't really say. It's got a little more duration and lift than my old cam but wider LSA. They wanted me to go with a 114 LSA for better street manners but I wanted a little more chop. On this car I'm willing to sacrifice a little driveability for a nicer sound. I would definately talk to Geoff at EPS the man knows his stuff. And the numbers have proved it.
