    Realistically, the LIM gasket is the worst part. The 3800 is a pretty solid engine, and just like Bio said, ZZP put out around 800whp on a stock bottom end. The weakest link isn't the engine, it's the tranny. TEP is the best in that department. ZZP is the best in the engine department.

    NA dyno: 222whp
    Novi 1000 dyno: 348whp
    Novi 2000 dyno: 372whp Best 1/4 mile: 13.2634@105.12mph
