What heads are on it? Any dyno sheets or video clips?

It has Texas Speed LS7 heads. Not a real big cam. I'll try and get a dyno sheet up. It's making 580rwhp 530tq.

This was back in 2009 right before I left for the Hot Rod Power Tour. What a fun trip that was.
As you can see in the picture below there was no modification needed on the hood. In our C5 we were actually able to use regular 1 3/4 Kooks headers without modifying them. The only thing we needed to modify on them was the X-pipe. Just a simple cut and re-weld. We casted and machined new engine mounts to use with our 500 ci Superdeck II in the C5's and C6 corvettes.
