What an intercooler...those tanks are huge where did you get that? 7-10 PSI of boost is SICK man!!!! I had a 2.5 Dodge Spirit that ran 10 PSI and that thing was FAST!!!! So almost triple the volume of air that this car will hold....so I'm not familiar with TDC on the 5.7 but what kind of compression are you talking about here?

Thanx Sean! As far as the intercooler goes, I got it online from a company called CX Racing. They are on Amazon, Ebay, and I believe they also have a website. The compression of the engine with the stock bottom end, 317 heads and LS9 head gaskets I believe will be somwhere around 9.5:1

The tune is scheduled for the 18th at 9am. You are welcome to come out if you would like. I am going to be on 12 hr shifts at that point, but I think I am going to skip some sleep that day in order to be there for the tune. Now I just gotta arrange a ride there that day so I can drive it home, or a get ride home, whichever is necessary.

Finally got the car tuned yesterday! Had a few issues with spark plug wires at first and was reading way low on power. Once we figured out where the bad wire was the power levels were right where we expected them to be. The car put down 563rwhp and 551rwtq on 10psi. Very happy with the street manners on this thing. Mike at Straightline did a pretty good job and I couldn't be happier with the setup. I took it for a drive and couldn't believe how fast the boost kicks in and once it does it really puts you back in your seat! I took a video of the car on the dyno, but unfortunately my phone went flaky and didn't save the file. The good thing is that the guys at Straightline also took a video so they are going to get me a copy as soon they get it loaded into their computer. I will post up the video as soon as I get it, but for now here is the dyno sheet.
