ya i got it dynoed 2 time one time last year and 2 years ago, both times they were around 550
[sound like a complete as hole]
Please post link to dyno sheet.
I have reviewed your myspace, you must have made these mods to produce 550 HP after you shot the video of it idling in your garage
[/sound like a complete as hole]

Besides the simple things like building the bottom of the motor to support the power gains from the Root style SC that has been mentioned, there are also the signifcant changes that need to be made to the car elsewhere to support these things.

Assuming you have already built the bottom end what is the rest of the drivetrain you plan on running behind this motor (what trans? what rear setup? what suspension? Even at a power level of 550 hp the stock mustang will have not have enough traction on street tires (even running a 295 40 17 in the rear) because of inherit limitations in the design (opinion). The only race you would have any chance in is a race from speed not a dead stop at a light not 'a roll' (again IMO).

I gotta see this.

The timing is set too fast...and you have no cam. I would also love to see your car on a dyno, as that engine sounds more stock then my 390HP.
