Default Got the new combo on the dyno today!
Results were much better than I expected! I ended up heading up to Phoenixville, PA to have Mike at Rapid Motorsports tune it. What a great experiance. His operation and handling of everything from front to back was all first class!
The Car ended up making 753hp and 706ftlbs! That's about a hundred more than I thought it would.

Here goes the Vid!

The car is a work of art. Very impressive work. Can't wait to see it run at the track!

I can see that car going a high 8 at 155, wouldn't surprise me if it leaves good.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I got alot of work to do before it's legal for a track run! I may go try some 1/8 mile passes to see how it's going to react.

My goal was to run consistantly in the high 9s.

Let me know when you go for your license runs. I'll come and watch. I can sign your sheet too. I'd love to run it too!
