Ask them in 100k miles. I bet mine's still running strong besides I like the challenge of making good/great NA power.

I would prefer not to discuss what was paid for it, you got a deal compared to what was paid for mine but it's LS7 based and that was a while ago... (and now I'm just making myself feel better)
Anyway, that's going to be a BEAST on the street and I hope to see it in person some day, I enjoyed following the build on here mad props!

150hp for $1100.00-looks like a pretty good deal to me.

with an unlimited budget i could have made another 50 hp at least,for that matter i could have changed cams and got another 50 hp if i didn't care about how it drove.

Big cams are easy to make power with. Try making 575 at the wheels with a mild cam, and a reasonably sized engine, and "heads that don't work"
Big shout out to Kevin. Over the years he's been the best customer any shop could hope to have. He's WANTED his car to be an exercise in R&D. He could have stopped long ago. He wanted something no one else had. A VERY driveable, very unassuming, yet VERY POWERFUL beast. If he was only looking for a power number, we could have went about it several different, not to mention much less expensive, ways.
PS, all of us here at Va Speed are very proud to have been a part of this.

I think I read on this post that others are welcomed to come along for a vette caravan ride down? I'm in Arlington.
