you are correct...car looks stock. A 98-02 LS1 camaro was on the loosing end over the weekend thinking this was a stock 5.0. Was not pretty and pulled up to next light and said "holy $hit" that thing flys and I will not mess with this car again! Thanks for the compliments on the car

That car looks awsome. How did you like the ET streets? I just got done building a 347 stoker some what the same set up as you and reading your numbers is what I am hoping for. Just out of curiousity hows the traction with 17s all around

I liked the MT ET streets. Once the tires were warmed up they worked great....much better than BFG Drag Radials.

Currently on the car is BFG Sport T/A's....they work pretty good on the street but going to find a MT ET street in 17" close to my size when I take the car to the track

Thanks for the comments on the car!!

Wondering if you know what kind of HP your getting with your set up with out the nos? I have a simular set up as yours and today it was at the dyno and he said I was getting 432 hp to the fly wheel. I am disapointed I was thinking it was going to be higher.

I have to get the motor specs from my buddy who owned the car before me and had the motor built. I know it is a complete roller motor with all Comp Cams guts. Edelbrock Victor Jr Aluminum heads and intake. Pump gas motor. Once I get the details I will post

Are you sure that he said that was the hp at the flywheel. I think that should be the hp at the wheels. I assume the engine was in the car and it was on a chassis dyno right? NUmbers do seem a bit low though.

Yep at the fly wheel. I was very disapointed I was hoping for about 450 hp at the rear wheels. He said He was very happey with the results and usually a 347 will not make over 400 hp at the rear wheels. That just seems low to me.
