I think itīs 2700 lbs.
The problem was the converter, no more trapspeed even if i boosted 20 psi.
Iīm going to dyno it in a engine dyna and order a custom converter for next year. I think iīm going to upgrade to a 4" crank also..

Ecu is a Vipec V88. www.vi-pec.com

Great work dear neighbour (I'm from Finland)! I'm full of questions cause having also plans for my 6.0 and S480 and everything...
How high is compression ratio?
Which injectors?
Which pistons and rods?
How much your heads flow? I assume they are ported 317s?
What's your trans?

Great work again !!!

9.2 CR
Wiseco pistons with tool pin upgrade
Eagle rods with L19 upgrade
160lb injectors
I donīt know flow. They are only very mild ported.
TH400 tranny.

90% injector flow at 20 psi.
So itīs well over 1000hp, but my converter didnīt like it
