Big changes here - with the help of my Friend Jeff Smith we installed a modified LS5 big block making 527 hp @ 5800 rpm / 581 ft lb @ 3900rpm we did a roller cam swap which turned into a series of articles written for Power and Performance news.

In the end the final choice wasn't the cam that arrived in the first article, the final cam achieved 527 hp and 581 ft'lbs.
We've since added a Holley sniper Fuel injection system to it.
