Wow, thank you yurs78, it's been alot of fun
I have to admit though there are a few shotcuts, not many, but a few.

Just checked my AFR, cycling between 14.7-15.2, good to go so far
EGT's no higher than 800 deg

My big install is just around the corner now, as some of you know, it's been almost 2 yrs in the making. I did my best, with the help of a few experts, in choosing a well thought out combination/package. Cam specs have changed 100 times, and I've had no less than 3 cams in my possession, all uninstalled.

So in keeping with my goals and engine parameters, the basic spec is as follows.

-Heads, WCCH 035 Stage 2's, 73.5cc, 2.02 1.57 (roughly 9.0-1 CR w/stock Head Gaskets)
-Cam, EDC(Flowtech), 224/236 .600/.590 @ 116LSA (powerband is 2000-6400 rpm on a 346-364ci engine)
-Connecting Rods, Stock w/LPE rod bolts (same as Katech)
-Rocker Arms, Stock
-Lifters, Stock
-Pushrods- Comp Cams 7.4
-Timing Chain- Comp Cams adjustable single roller ( I will be degreeing the Cam)
-Blower, Magnuson MP122HH @ 10lbs of boost

The exhaust system is already installed, SW 1 3/4, 3" collectors, Magnaflow 3" dual out the back.

On the DynoSim Software this combo is making between 750-850fwhp/fwtq, depending on boost levels, 10-14psi range. Peak TQ occurring @ 2000-2500rpm, Peak HP occurring @ 6000rpm (extending to 6500rpm). Obviously that's not a reality yet so I will be sure to post results as the combination is tested in the appropriate sections.

Anyone interested in progress pictures during the install?

and to think, this is how it started.
