Sooo - it has been a LONG while since I have posted updates on my car. Between grad school and finding a job - time has been tight. Life has finally settled down and it was time to get the beast on the rollers and turn some solid numbers. For those of you not familiar with my build, cruise over to my build thread:

Tuning was done by Josh over at Lashway Motorsports in Fort Lauderdale, FL on their Mustang Dyno (some of you may have seen their facebook post of the car). Car had issues on the dyno at the beginning. I brought the car in with all stock sensors hooked up and reading - car was on 93 octane. First runs yielded massive amounts of knock to the point that Josh did not feel comfortable taking the car past 3,000 rpm. After discussion, we opted to throw 112 (50/50 mix with 93) octane fuel in the car, disabled the knock sensor and do some old school tuning. Run after run he kept adding in a bit more timing till we reached a solid number. On the final tune write, the car hiccuped and we bricked the PCM :( (I think Josh had it with Lt1s at that point). Next day, I brought a new PCM and tuning was complete. Dyno sheet and video is below (sorry you have to deal with portrait style iPhone video - that's all I had on me at 9:00 p.m.):

Numbers on dyno sheet were corrected but that run yielded a max of 452hp/440tq. Car made max power at 6,300 rpm. I was extremely impressed with how much torque the car made at only 2,500 rpm - 350 ft. lbs!
Needless to say, the car runs amazing and is an absolute monster on the street. Many credits given to Josh at Lashway for taking his time on this thing. I wanted to show what an N/A LT1 can still do and I would venture to say that the LS folks at Lashway were pretty impressed :)
A final thanks goes out to 1badz and 95ImpySS for helping me put this car together and get it to the point that it is at now. Next up, a rear and some tires!
