Well.....I got the initial results.....the car isn't done yet...we ran into some problems......my tranny is toast! lol.....but I will be getting that fixed soon.....the initial pulls were scarry at first....had to add 17% more fuel..lol...so that actually looked promising.......well the first pull was 220hp...!! I was like WTF!!!! but it turned out that the granetelli COP's sucked.....we burrowed some stock COP's and the power went up alot...120 hp alot..lol.....but due to the car being soo lean it fouled 2 plugs...lol.....it was 103 degrees in the shop to boot.....but we got the car to put down 344/337.......we started at 24 deg of total timing and left at 28....it likes the timing! I will be going back in a week after I get new plugs installed, and try to get my tranny fixed....the pump was making alot of noise and my tail house bearings are shot! Compared to the old setup my best in August with the patriots was 325/327......so it is up on power but there is more to be had....now the question comes in as how much more.....I think 350 to 360 will be there easily....but the PI intake is the bottle neck at this point......they can make good power blowing air thru them...but how much power can they make sucking air thru them on an N/A set-up.......don't get discouraged....I have to fix a few things first before I can get the final numbers....the drivability is awsome and believe it or not I got 285 miles + on a tank of gas with my car....compared to the 190 I was getting before....I also have a vacume leak that I need to fix.....even with all these little things the SOTP feel is awsome...she is definately trying to pull harder....just need to work the timing curves in more and fix the crap.
what does everyone think?

on a bike, i bet youd kill yourself. At least this way, you would have the front half of the car and airbags to help protect you instead of a helmet. Plus your car would sound that much better instead of a bike sounding like a fart can. Dont get me wrong, superchargers sound nice...but you cannot beat the sound of a lopey cam at idle.
