The car made it's maiden voyage this morning to work. No leaks or anything so thats good. Just gotta work on the tune now. It's running a bit rich with 15% fuel added. I gotta play with the tip in and lean it back out some.

The car looks amazing!! How does doing an Eaton swap compare to doing a Kenne Bell kit as far as power on stock bottom end, power potential later on, reliability, and cost?

Cost is definitely a lot less. I'd say its more reliable as well since there are rarely failures with these blowers since they are an oem part. The most you can get out of an eaton is a little over 500RWHP. Its very easy to make over 400 with an eaton swap which is all you would want on a stock block car.

I just used generic coolant from autozone and then did about a 70% water/ 30% coolant mix.

Went up and stuck it on the dyno. Surprisingly the tune I made was almost dead on. Just had to add about 4% fuel on the top end. Made 440hp/460tq with 14* of timing. Going from 12 to 14* of timing the car picked up 30rwhp. Car has a pretty good miss after messing with it and I really havent been happy with these TR6 plugs. Going to put BR7EF's back in it and add more timing and I should be close to 500 rwhp.
