it's a really cool set-up, the problem I see with it is that heads/cam gen 2's now make the kind of power that pkg did back in the day (LPE's web page 608 rwhp). My Striker heads/cam set-up made 612 rwhp on a stock bottom end. Now take the Ported stock castings off that and put on some strikers and that would be interesting.
Basically what my car has. Mine also has HRE's plus full sound system, running an AEM, and around 17k miles. No way in hell do I think it could bring $75k but more power to him if someone pays that.
Car's with Todd @ A&C getting some tuning issues resolved.

That's some power! Carl have you tracked it at Willow yet? If so how is it?
no, not yet and it will need a few things before I go, if I go. Car is so nice not sure I'm going to go....but who knows.
I'll let Todd post up. He's finishing it up tomorrow. One of us will post up the dyno sheet. He's done alot of good work though it's been a pain in ass with some of the unknown things done by LPE in the wiring and stock ECU. Let's just say...I'm not disappointed in the numbers. I had him work on drivability and a extremely safe tune...ie..I think he could have gotten more. We had some real issues with idle hang and surging though it ran real good at WOT.
I should pick up the car tomorrow if I can get up to his shop after work if it's not too late. friggen work.
The car made a baseline of 590 rwhp amd 603 rwtq. Pulled hard and had the herky jerkies real bad at cruise speeds. Went into some sort of limp mode when the rpms dropped extremely low.
Needless to say. Carl let me play with it a bit. The cam specs on this thing are huge by any comparison. In a nutshell. 650 lift. 250 dur at .050. So i expected some driveability. Carl said he wanted no more power. Just more driveability
We pulled the intake to change the thermostat. Then we did a host of needed changes. I talked carl into an aem for the driveability with a monster cam.
He hasnt driven it yet. But i started off making pulls just cleaning up the afr's. Highest number i made was 663rwhp and 686 rwtq. Not too shabby and this is na on 91 octane.
The surging and bugging are virtually 95 percent gone the car was worth the money all day. Thanks carl
Doing an alignement and some little stuff then its back to carl to enjoy.
