The last several weeks we worked hard on SICK HP, we still have a fuel issue so I will not be running. On a good note my Vette has held up well after four years of boosting, the orginal rwhp was 749 at 6600, and on the first pull after a 8 rib and pulley change 735 rwhp at 6000, so once we figure out the fuel issue I will be fine and have more power.

I need to give promts on my setup first to my Mechanic Arnold Schoech, works out of his home, our tuner Corey at Henderson Performance and Andy at A&A for the awesome 347 short block that has handled all the boost

That's awesome! Great news on the longevity of your boosted motor too. I've taken my time, but I don't feel as though I've skimped on any of my build. I hope it's worth the 2 year wait.
