383 first fuel tpi crate engine on the way!

The 383 first fuel tpi engine i had built is on route! I ordered it from a place called precision auto machine in tennessee. It's got pro comp aluminum heads, 10.5 to 1 compression and is topped off with the first fuel setup. The motor also comes with distributor, 24# fuel injectors, pressure regulator and complete wiring harness including computer with ready tuned chip for the cam. Also forgot it comes with external mounted fuel pump. I already ordered a walbro in tank that i'll use instead. The motor should get to the shop by the end of the week. Hopefully everything will be up and running by sometime next week. I will try to take pics after everything is done. They also broke in the motor and dynoed it. Adam from precision auto machine told me that they ran it a couple of times and each time it made more power and ran better as the computer will tune itself further. I think he said it was making about 386 hp but should end up over 400 after i drive it for a while. That's exactly what i was hoping for. The engine was $6,000 and delivery 275. Not bad for everything thats included.
