Thanks again for all the compliments guys, I really appreciate it! Anyways, here's the dyno graph from the 970 pull. It doesn't show the AFR or timing, but I'll see if I can round one of those up too from the shop.

I noticed from the under car pictures that you were no running a front sway bar. Is it possible to build a twin front mount manifold kit while retaining the front sway bar?

Yea, I had to ditch it. I had most of this stuff built with the truck manifold kick before I started seeing people do the V band off the end of the manifold trick. If you do that way, I'm pretty sure you can get away with keeping the sway bar and also not having to relocate the alternator. Hindsight is 20/20, but I'm still super happy with everything. I don't auto cross it or do much corner carving, so I'm not missing my sway bar...weight reduction anyways

Front sway bar kills any chance of any type of weight transfer leaving you stuck in spin city on the starting line.

I would always remove the front sway bar on any F-body that was going to see track time, even if it's just a couple times a year.

Ahhh, good point Martin. I never noticed the difference in it alone I guess because I did all of my stuff at once :-/ So I was attributing my hook to other things in my suspension. Handy to know though. Thx again buddy.

Thanks again for all the compliments guys! Makes me feel good after all the hard work that was put in

As far as meth, it's progressive by load (Alky Injection kit from Juilo) and works great. Just used the factory tank and put the pump under my drivers side headlight, have the controller under my dash near the hood latch release and the notification lights (low meth and active meth) put in where my head light switch is at. Looks good to me and is cheap insurance when pushing it on 93.

Timing wise, I run 16* at 20 psi but have very low compression (~8.5:1). If you're running different pistons or thinner CC chambers on the head, I'd run less timing. But it works for me and is still safe. It could definitely crack 1000 hp but I'm not out to get the highest number possible. I just want it to perform well and live for a long time.

Ok kool. I was just curious cuz im building something very similar.. AES390, Twin 66's, -15cc Diamond pistons with ported/polished/revalved 317's, and was looking for that 1xxx rwhp number just for ***** and giggles. Also going with an aquamist meth kit.

I may have missed it but what tranny are you running?

How does the car feel on the street? Im looking forward to driving mine one day lol

How quickly do the turbos spool?

Thanks man!

Very nicely done! Do you know how much it weigh? I only hope my car does close to that.
