493/507 is nothing to sneeze at... let's see what "some real changes" brings.

no its not i like it. blows the doors off most little mustang camaros corvettes. until they start getting into the 400 mark then weight is a factor and its just not enough.

What blower cam are you running out of curiosity? Sounds like a really good combo.

Just 100 shot. Unfortunately the tuner stopped the nitrous pull at 6100 instead of 6700 or it would have no doubt broke 500rwhp since it was still climbing at 6700 on motor.

Haha yea I bet, maggie is prolly about maxed out on your setup hence why its falling on its face at 6000.

Do you have a dyno graph? Id like to see the torque and hp curve compared to mine since we make similar power with different setups.

3k - 6k is a great power band in these heavy cars, sounds like an excellent choice for a street cam and should sound pretty healthy at idle.
