Default Got the new combo on the dyno today!

Results were much better than I expected! I ended up heading up to Phoenixville, PA to have Mike at Rapid Motorsports tune it. What a great experiance. His operation and handling of everything from front to back was all first class!
The Car ended up making 753hp and 706ftlbs! That's about a hundred more than I thought it would.

Here goes the Vid!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I got alot of work to do before it's legal for a track run! I may go try some 1/8 mile passes to see how it's going to react.

My goal was to run consistantly in the high 9s.
