Did it, ran slower.

yes very close

93 octane, Yes still slow

Yes I have been looking, I did see one go on ebay for $9,300 with EVERYTHING, even the a/c compressor. That would be helpful. ADM has a package with the short block from Lindenfelter and LS3 heads installed for $15,000 (with tune) but they are not very close to Florida.

Just as well, I need to save up the cash, still have 14k to pay off on the car before i can have fun taking the L99 engine out and using it as a boat anchor!
To bad we cant get a decent engine in the automatic's

It only took me 2 days from FT. Lauderdale to dallas,and that was in a penske truck and my thirdgen on a trailer behind it.From Where you are it should be about a 1 and 1/4 day drive.Or just have it shipped.

Man, I keep reading these threads. The internet is becoming a terrible thing in some cases, too many people getting false info out there based on unproven data, take it to the track(dealer really can not monitor performance very well), then do a comparison based on D/A at the track from magazine testing and then do everyhting they did including the driver and tires. If it still doesn't add up, sue the magazine for false advertisement I guess? GM didn't make these claims, magazines did to get ratings or something? GM has a PCM/TCM that adjusts/adapts to many things effecting performance accordingly. Or bring your car to me, and I will tell you what is going on, I agree it is slightly underrated, but not to the level you are exclaiming anyway, unless conditions are playing a role of course.
