My part list, and I did upgrades where suggested. Some I know did not and my attitude was do it while the motor is apart instead of coming back later or if something failed. I should have no failures.

Price was about the same, but you got a little bit more than just a cam and LS3 conversion. I see a PI Custom stall and a tranny cooler in that list! Which is a very nice list of parts!! Sounds like you got a heck of a deal! I'm officially jealous. Maybe next year for me.


The $3300 I was quoted did not include the cost of a tune or dyno time. I get that part for free. So maybe the price difference isn't so great when you figure that in.
