Forged rotating assembly, balanced, 3 angle valve job, SS valves, brass retainers, improved spark plug threads.

For the tranny I'm putting in a Lentech 40R70W rated to 700hp with a furnace brazed torque converter

Pretty solid setup, I really wanted something with a bit more reliability than all out performance. I'm just worried about my T-case 😅

T case's seem to be pretty stout in these vehicles. Are you going to be running a 6# lower pulley? I would expect that your truck exceeds my numbers by a good amount. Are you running stock cams??

I've heard promar motors aren't bad, but im wondering what kind of pistons they use and what kind of equivalent compression ratio you run. If you got the forged lightning motor it may be a bit lower CR than NA motors.

Didn't realize your going to have an almost identical exhaust setup, but your going to love the borla's with the OBX headers and m112. It's very well behaved under normal driving, but is SOOOO damn loud and glorious sounding when you get into boost. It's a v8 symphony! It sounds better than my CTSV lol
