The reply was "For track use I would recommend our 427 package below. This package includes a fully forged bottom end with all upgraded internals."

If it's indeed very reliable, and if they could give me a Black Friday level deal, it'd indeed be amazing : ) That said, any time I got into any such endeavor, I ended up regretting it.

I am heads cam now. I went the first day the track opened in March and couldn't hook. Most of my passes were 10.4 with high 1.6 60' with little weight reduction. My upside is I've been 1.51 previously (stock cam) and I'll be lighter next time out.
Car made 533 on 93 and 556 on e. Texas Speed stage 2 cam and heads milled .040. Advertising 600 is a big stretch imo. I made 615 in my 6th gen SS and it was Rowdy compared to my C8.

They've helped prepared many NASCAR team motors and gave input for many IMSA endurance racing OHV race engines as well.

I DO agree that they're many BS'ers out there as well thou, fly-by-night "tuning houses" or outright BS'ers. The 600RWHP N/A claim by the 'Boost District' running only pump gas for example I believe is an out-and-out lie... I suspect they calibrated their *load bearing* dyno to cook the graph/WHP numbers... but not everyone engages in these shenanigans.

Btw, I've asked Boost District to post a video of that car doing a pull on a Dynojet 248c non-load bearing dyno to no avail... :/

Yes there are a lot full of it. Look at a trap speed and the da. Tells you all you need to know. Ive been extremely fast in many platforms and know what it takes.
