Well it was built with specs for a starting 300rwhp shot, and has the capability to hold 1000rwhp. But, until I can dump some money into the suspention, we'll be limited to about 700rwhp, or maybe 1rwhp over what ever Ryan put's down.

Yep, it's on the list. Have allready talked to Rodney (RPM Tranny and the Vette specialist), and a discount, maybe even Ellis if he wants to tackle it.

Yea, it'll be hard to keep the fingers out of the cookie jar, if ya know what i mean.
