Agreed.

You could always get "cheap insurance" in a beater car like my 500.00 91 Escort. Not the nicest looking car on the outside, but the interior is nice and it runs very well. I run that around more now then my TA just to keep the miles off the TA

This is on a built 370 guys.

And I know I said I love my methanol kit, but when I build my motor the Meth will be added as a cooling feature and no longer tuned as hard with the methanol as I am now. Be carefuly like they said and I see no reason why you shouldn't be alright. Hell when I finally bone up and build my 408 I am looking for 750rwhp and then adding spray on top of that...

I think you will be fine!
Yea, i made the mods to the fueling and am hitting the dyno on friday feb 3rd. i am expecting between 700-750 so thats why i posted 750rwhp...

Trakday, remember that i pulled 655rwhp @ only 5600rpm with no meth. Now the meth is in and ill be able to pull to at least 6500rpm... i sshould blow by the 700rwhp mark. P.S. i hope you get your rear rebuilt, i wanna see some tens in ur sig!!

You have a similar setup to my 98 Formula, same cam, big motor. If you race your car things will break with that much power, even if you have a built tranny, good suspension parts and a built rearend. I have had one minor problem after another since I put the Vortech on 2 years ago . Before that the car ran 10.9- 11.1 on the 382 motor and never had any probs for about 3 years. I would not want to drive a 700+ hp car as a daily driver.

Yeah I knew you were shutting down early due to fuel... I just thought I might have missed a thread with a new dyno... thats all. Good Luck man!

Plan on building that rear end soon though, I just picked up all my parts from BMR and am just waiting on my gears and Diff now! It should hold the power with the ne wheel/tire combo.

Again, good luck man! Keep me posted!
