Built motor, ported head w/ +1mm valves, Kelford cams, Buschur FMIC. Also the last time I was on shane's dyno I did not have the tubular manifold, so it will be verrrry interesting to see where it lands. I am trying HARD to tell myself to tune it very conservatively since its still winter, so if I can do that and see 360whp on pump I will be pretty happy. I still have dreams of 400 on pump, but with snow tires and nowhere to actually use it keeping it conservative is prolly the way to go. I can always turn up the boost and timing for the spring dyno day

A few x-factor thigns, bcs and higher rev limit. I have the mbc/bcs hybrid boost control setup now which should eliminate boost taper up top. Also, in both pump gas and race gas dynos last fall with the rev limiter set at 8000 power was still climbing at the rev limiter. With the built head, I'll be able to rev it much higher if I want to, so there may be some peak number gains there too. In the end both of these are only top-end gains but who knows what they might be, 5-15whp? Dunno, we'll see I guess!
