PSP longblock using Crower Stage 2 cam and Patriot stage 3 heads. Haven't been able to run it at the track (D@mn Gateway International closed mid Oct), but I've beat some friends on the street that I couldn't before. I'm anxious to see what it does at the track next year.

Yes very satisfied.

Maybe not what you were looking for.

I have been hearing a lot of good things about AVT in Conway, SC. Since he is so close to me I will be taking a ride to his shop very soon.
AVT did mine and I can't complain one bit. Right now in break in trim, pushing over 600+HP on pump gas on only 15 lbs of boost and very low timing. I'll be bringing it back to him around Dec 1 or 2 for the final street tuning, a boost only race program, and boost and nitrous program. Plus some suspension work and a couple of other things. I am expecting well over 700 HP and the truck to still be capable of being a daily driver. Other things to note is he built me a beautiful 3" exhaust off the headers. Can't say how impressed I was with that. He is a very meticulous and pays close attention to detail is what I like most. I'll let the cat out of the bag and let's say in about a year, AVT will be putting a turbo on this bad boy.

I think we all know about my first few motors, so I will leave it at that so I don't bring down the thread.
JDM did it the second time around, it has been over a year and it is going great! -Mat-

I talked to Arthur a few weeks ago, and he did say that he would be tuning your truck the first week of Dec. I am planning to make the trip while your truck is there.

It would be a nice time for one of those NC/SC lightning gettogethers even if it's just a handful of trucks.

Cool dude, but I am leaving it there for a couple of weeks to let him work his magic. I'll be out of the country unfortunately, but would love to hang out if I didn't have to go.

JLP shortblock w/ JLP stage 3 cams, Patriot heads. Awesome motor, I have went as fast as 11.02 @120mph with just a ported eaton on it, no spray! Very satisified w/ the JLP motor and his tuning
Josh
ps: other than the shortblock I built the truck myself.

10.33 on a 2 year old motor w/ 27 10 second passes in a row should say how I feel about my JDM built motor.
