I have a complete fuel system overhaul, 485lph fuel pump, Fast Intentions oil cooler, CSF radiator.My temps have never even budged, in 80degrees traffic, or uphill the steep 3 mile grade during my 40mile commute to work. Rock Solid.

I cannot say much more. My tune is running 11+psi and 600hp daily on stock block. Freeway pulls are fun as hell, I take the scenic route to work(280 north), soooooo much fun. I enjoy the **** out of this car. Aside from the initial power, it is so solid. I go over the car weekly, never found anything out of place, the power is still there, reliability is OEM so far.

I have fuel press, AFR, boost, oil temp, water temp and oil press monitored 24/7...everything has been in check. No low or high warnings at all.

Single 485...not quite a drop in. Dan@FI did the mod as we decided to step up from a 340 for ***** and gigs. All I can really say is that we have in inline filter replacing the in-tank. AFAIK, it is in the stock assembly, just do not know how much it was altered to fit. Surprisingly the 485 is not loud at all, lol. After hearing a 400 and many 340s whine and hum, the big 485 has been silent thus far.

No UOA, my first oil change was at maybe 2000 miles. I ran most of the oil and filter load through a paper filter, no metal, no sheen, so that's a great sign. Next oil change in about a month will be going to blackstone for sure. I wanted to do the home test as a knee-jerk reaction to a friends boosted 350 having crazy amounts of metal when ran through a paper towel.

Its only an extra $25 an oil change. I consider it a requirement for any serious car. One of those things that so many skimp on(fuel, tune, cooling) and that boggles me.

Sure has been quiet on the F.I. front. I had to go to page two to get one of these threads. Who's the next vehicle to shatter the previous stock block numbers?

I don't think I will be shattering records on CA91 octane, but other than waiting on the clutch, SpecialtyZ should hopefully be finishing my car up soon.

No shame. After your experience, you are going to settle for almost 500whp and a power curve that is unmatched. Real world power>peak dyno numbers all day!

The clutch is a treat though. Not one slip, grabs, but very smooth. Worth the wait.
