Got a call today from Revolutions Performance, they are done with the engine install and my Ride is ready for me to pick-up. :61424796:

I'll be heading down tomorrow and plan to pick it up around 2:00pm. Can't wait to get behind the wheel again. ZOOM ZOOM

I'm back behind the wheel and enjoying every minute of it!!! ZOOM ZOOM!!! Still have to take it easy to break engine in right. Its currently set at factory boost 6psi and the nitrous is currently disconnected. Logged 400 miles so far, 2,000 isn't that far away. I'm scheduled to go back in to Revolutions Performance in the middle of July to tune, up the boost and connect the nitrous. Will be hooking up with everyone soon for a meet.

Got internet access, so I through I'd check-in.
Same engine lol. But you're right, there is really no visible difference. The one visible change is that I did get the exhaust shield polished to a mirror finished while the engine was out; will get pictures posted when I get back. Revoluiotns Perfomance would have had to perform a miricle to salvage the blown engine. Three holes in the block, broken rods, pistons and cam shaft, damaged head just for starters. No worries with that engine show-up anywhere but the scape metal pile.
See you all in about a week and a half.
