Will do! I know there is another company broadcasting the same thing, but I haven't heard a single thing about it since. I think Livernois is fairly reputable as well.

Agreed, but I think it'll be awhile before we see cams. The 3V is going to be tough to get it all pinned down properly.

I would be happy with just this and the other mods I have. Should mean low 12s for the most of us. Traps should really improve, since the power gains are all midrange to top end.

ouch! I asked Chris if he wanted to cut me a deal to test them. He laughed.
Have you had your car dynoed yet? Livernois has dyno sheets showing 45 rwhp gains and 21rwtq! I don't know much about reading flow charts. I do know how to read dyno charts though.

I don't know too much about their product, but I've seen their cars haulin down the track in Bradenton, FL and Reynolds, GA. I haven't heard one bad thing about them. Anyone can chime in on this if they have! I just like to know what I can about a company I may do business with.
45 more rwhp, that could put me somewhere between 360-364 rwhp/335-340 rwtq N/A.
as I fantasize about cams in the future...This is truely an obssession!

David, maybe you can explain to me what exactly this would entail? Would you need to send your stock heads in to have them ported, or would they just send you new heads. And how hard would installation be? Is this something you can do yourself? I don't have to much knowledge on ported heads...

I called Livernois today. Cost? $2000. "Depending on the tune, it'll give you 33-45 rwhp." Right now, you send in your heads and they port/polish them and mount the cams-which is entailed as I understand it. Setting them properly is very important (as I'm told). They will eventually have it set up to ship out completed heads with cams mounted with a core charge-credit upon receipt.
I spoke with a friend of mine and he thinks it might be dangerous with the stock bottom end. He's also referring tomy particular car due to the mods. I'm at 294 rwhp and will be roughly around 315-320 rwhp once I get the tune and dynoed-exhaust. With the heads I would be around 360-365 rwhp, which is roughly 414 hp at the crank. My buddy says he as well as every other shop is still learning about the 05 and is unsure how the bottom end will hold up to ported heads.
I think I will be waiting for someone else to do this that will beat it up and see what the motor will take. When I get to wanting more, I'll just hold out to build up the bottom end as well as available cams.

With all the supercharger companies putting over 400 to the ground, I can't see 414 at the crank as much of a problem. Maybe I'm wrong.

?Test n tune street nights and weekend events hes making the best choice to wait for a beefier bottom. .The big issue is with the auto guys and the weak shaft with that hp.

David, with the addition of those headers, just curious why you havn't gone with the charge motion plate spacers?
