Was alittle disappointed but the car made 468/440.. With HEAVY tires on it, tuner said with my 15inch hoosiers it would have made 15-20 hp more because of rotating mass AND my camshaft is alittle too small, cam quits pulling about 6100 so ill be swapping cams in a few months. Car feels like a different animal because it picked up 15-30 ft lbs of torque through the whole rpm range and 10-20 hp through the whole rpm range. Overall im happy because Im now getting to drive it AND im having fun destroying my new toyo proxes
