Had my 69 on the dyno at G-force the other day These guys are first class, not only did they help me determine that my intercooler is the bottleneck on power but Mike also rode with me to tune in some of the driving issues with the car. Thanks guys. Jeff I can't forget you either bud!

I've seen this car in person and it is absolutely gorgeous! Very nice attention to detail through out...
Although I will say that I would expect a lot more then 700rwhp out of an F1A at 15 psi on a 416....
Sure you were getting ALL of that 15 psi?
Its an awesome car!
Matter in fact, my buddy played around on the street with you a month or so ago with his 70 Camaro with a little 355... He said you were spinnin....

I always wandered about the beautiful stock looking vette with sticky tires on it. Judging from your quarter mile times, looks like it's dialed in pretty good!!
I tried to talk to the guy with the 70, he didn't really seem like he wanted to talk. Hes got a nice car.

My buddy Jerry owns the 70 camaro. It just has an old 355 in it right now.... We are currently building him a pretty nasty 420" SB... It should go 9.90s in street trim when its done.
From what I remember, you were using the Procharger Stg 2 bracket for a vette? Those are NOTORIOUS for belt slip. The tensioner sucks on them and not enough belt wrap. I had that bracket on my Z06 and unless I kept the belt guitar string tight, it would slip.
I bet that is where some of your power is.... An F1A has a 5.40 step up ratio so its pretty hard to turn....The belt/drive assy better be right to get full belt traction. Are you running methanol on it? Maybe you are getting some KR when its hot. Also I'm assuming you have the biggest exhaust system and best flowing mufflers on it you can get. I figure you'll make close 800 rwhp once you get it dialed in....
You'll never get that car to hook....LOL It will be hella fun though. I am building a similar combo for my Z06 as we speak...
Good luck, its a phenomenal car!

I installed a gauge before the intercooler and watched it peg out a 30psi gauge on the dyno while the engine only saw 14.5psi, so with a 15psi DP across the intercooler it pretty much told us that the intercooler is defiantly a problem. I am having Bell Intercoolers build a verticle flow intercooler that should eliminate that issue. It should be around 800 to 825. Your right about hooking it but it will be fun though.
Take care

69 camaro z/28 with fikse rims... that thing wouldn't even need a motor and i would still consider that my favorite car. the gem of a motor you have in there just makes it that much better. i agree with ajrothm though that the power seems a little low for your setup, but there always seems to be little things to tweak here and there. none the less, awesome car, great power, hopefully it's a blast to drive!

I have read about your build on Lat-G... just a beautiful car man! Love the Fikses as well, I dream to have some of those one day. But an LS3 and hopefully blower will come first (or maybe between those two if the power of the LS3 can suffice long enough LOL).
