Chassis Dyno'd the car yesterday. It has so fr made 460ft-lbs and 450HP at the wheels. Needless to say that first gear is useless under WOT!!!!

I had to run the HP runs in 3rd gear and to get the torque I had it in 4th. It didn't seem like it was locking up right in third, and 4th gear gets goin gway to fast for a car with no driveshaft hoop!!!!

Enjoy

Very Nice guys! I was looking to do the same with my setup, but figured I would just run it on E85. It will probally be too hard to make mine a flex fuel (dealing with boost, etc...) I will be running BS3.

Sorry, the customer is using the truck accessories, we did not do the install, but I think it was pretty seamless. He says he chopped a little corner off of the power steering gear box. He made his own mounts which helped the engine sit a little higher. If you need a set, he says he has a pattern, so he can duplicate them. He also said that the only way to get the A/C to work is with the mounts he has, FWIW.
