JMD,
Im going to take it light for the first 500 miles, but after that I cant promise anything. They just extended my working hours from getting off at 2pm to getting off at 4pm, so Im stuck here surfing MF for an extra 2 hours a day driving myself bonkers wanting to work on my car..Thanksfor the guess on power, I was guessing less, but I really knowknothing about how it will all button up together..

Now you just need a 3.55 trac loc and a charge account at a tire store.

i highly doubt he is putting out that much power...im thinking its probably somwhere in the one million bajillion hp range

but in all seriousness, probably around 300hp. of course there is only one way to find out...

That sounds like a pretty happy number in my book..

I dont think I would ever pay to get my car dyno'd,, I just think its a waste of money,, at least thats what I think now.. A couple of years from now, I will probaby be strapping this thing down..
