No problem Chris. I can't wait to see what it will do myself. What would you estimate it will do on motor alone, 91 octane? My guess ( or hope! ) is around 375rwhp. I figure 650 should be within reach by adding in the alky.

I would think that you are in the ballpark with your estimates. Good luck getting her together and let me know what you get for dyno numbers!

Chris, I know you all said it was a custom peice, but how hard was it to fab up the gauge cluster for the A/C area?? I have some ideas I saw used in a 94 Mustang that they molded a Autometer gauge cluster to it all.. Am I going along the same lines is you all did, if thats what I plan on doing.. I love the setup!

I used autometer bezel's and plastic welded a grained ABS sheet to the back. There is a fair amount of trimming and stuff but with the right tools and patience it can be easily diplicated.
