All the parts I would've thrown at that build. Great job. I'll keep watching this thread.

Car put down 463 hp to rear wheels at 6400 rpm..still building power at that rpm and with solid cam could probably take it to 7000 rpm safely..will try to get it to the track soon to get numbers.....what a difference an extra 273 hp makes..lol

The engine was built for the turbos..so the cam choice and such is not optimized for a naturally aspirated car..also i wonder how much drivetrain loss i have with this turbo 400 trans..traction on the street is a problem now.time to dial in the suspension...running 315-35-17 bf goodrich drag radials..they are taking a beating..lol.the guys at work say it sounds like thunder,the sound of the car gets lots of attention.
