For the most part but there are things that still need to be done to get it to work. It comes with traditional fuel rails so if you don't have a fuel system
you have to adapt to that which is pretty straightforward. You need to build an inlet for it which cost me about $200 in materials and welding. Lastly its just rerouting of the coolant lines.
That was a 91 octane run. There wasn't a whole lot of room for more boost with that setup since the timing was getting retarded so fast. I think the E85 at this boost level is really the only thing that can be done or minimally meth. Karch's car has the same cam and similar heads to my previous setup and has done a 91 and E85 tune and I think he gained 40-50...
Thanks! 9.5 CR. End of the run was 155* and it was about 95* in the shop so it does ok on boost. It soaks very easily so I have some work to do to try and fix that. Looking into the RDS spacers and a bigger pump since I am running two stock pumps in series. One pushing into the HX directly off of the Norcal tank and the other in stock location. Its not enough flow.

Not sure what specs you are looking for but here are some pics for you.
Thanks man. I just went through a few more logs and the 150 deg run was with a starting temp of 125. With a starting temp of 110 it never got over 135 so it is doing ok considering the boost level. I really need to get the nominal temps down since under boost it seems like it is holding up ok. True test to come at the track since the dyno is WAY different than the 1/4.
They were offering it as a "kit" through Ben however Vortech who is the owner of Lysholm is not supporting it as readily as they used to so its become difficult to get the parts. This setup literally took months to get out of Vortech. They used to sell a 2.3L for the camaros and that is essentially what this is based off of. If you are seriously interested let me know since I might have a handle on another one...
