I'll post a clickable link in the description tomorrow with over 50 pictures so please check back tomorrow or the next day to see the real picture collection of the car. This car dynoed at 372HP at the wheels during the break in tune. we set the rev limiter at 5800 and hit it before the curve fell off. This combo should do 450+ at the wheels on a race tune. It's is about 12.5:1 under WOT and is running 18* initial and 28* total timing. It has instantaneous throttle response and the max torque is 363ft-lb at 3,000 rpm. It's 9.5:1 and runs on 93. You can snap the throttle open at 1,000 rpm in fourth gear and not get any hesitation or backfire. It's dialed in extremely well. I have all the receipts.
