I'm sure you will make some monster power.

Thanks for the info. Just got word that the block will be shipping out in 2 weeks. Also, I opted for all the coating services available from GTM.

I'm excited to see the numbers as well! Also, I had a couple other questions. As far as the block goes, I know that I'd be safer keeping it at around 600whp. My question is, does it matter how much psi it takes to get there? What I mean is, if the car is only making 560whp at 17 psi (just an example) would it matter if i crank it up to 21psi to go hit 600whp?
