Dyno #'s will have to hold you over till the track opens. Trust me I can't wait either.
I put down 630hp on a Mustang dyno. I don't know how accurate that is because the car kept spinning on the dyno when it went into boost.
That was with 10psi, no spray.

Sweet setup and those are some really nice pictures. Do you have to mess with the camera settings to get the pics to look like that or play with the pics in photoshop or is it just the lighting?

Very nice looking setup! I bet it is really fun to drive, am looking forward to hearing some track times! One question, why do you have the TB sprung up to the radiator hose clamp?

The Throttle Body doesn't close all the way, so the spring "helps" it shut.

And yeah it is a blast to drive. I'm addicted to boost.

I did a search on your posts and noticed 2 things:
#1 you can spend all that money ruining a trans am, but you can't seem to find a keyboard with the caps lock turned off.
#2 You bash everyone when you have absolutly nothing to talk about. I don't know what you were thinking, but someone LIED to you.
#3 Please don't be telling me about 20 years ago when you made your car into an 70's attention *****.

I appreciate constructive criticizm, but ya don't have to be a dick. I have a drag set-up and adjustable shocks. You drive around Philadelphia/Baltimore with a lowered car and tell me how long you can put up with it.
