Very nice Don car looked great at the world of wheels. I can only imagine what the final numbers will be. Since I know what the goal is set to I think the Dez Crew will get it there.

Let us in on the secret.

I dont see why that thing dont make close to 800 on 18#. Now put that setup in a 3000 pound fox body with a glide and that would be fun.

The Stang should/will make more.

It's kind of funny when you see 700 rear wheel torque and it doesnt suprise you anymore. The only thing that excites me at this point is the plan to make a specific's somebodies car a 1000 rwhp daily driven monster.

Like I always say, my car keeps getting slower by the day... There is a kid down here with an '03 Cobra running the 2.2 Kenny Bell and he is making somewhere around 560 to the wheels. He's very curious of the final numbers on this set-up. Keep up the good work Don!
