MMS F1 427 here I come!!! I just dropped off my WS6 at MMS to have a ton of work done to her. I've been planning this with MMS for over a year now and finally, the time was right. The motor is about ready so it was time to start the long process of transforming this car into a beast. In broad strokes, here is what they are doing:
427ci motor with revised Darton Sleeves
F1 Supercharger w/ custom front mounted intercooler
Stage III/6.0 Heads
Not sure of the Cam yet
Hi-Capacity Radiator
Hi-Pressure Intank Fuel Pump and T-Rex Inline Fuel Pump w/ 58lb injectors (still working out details)
Jet-Hot Hooker Headers/Car Sound Cats/Custon Y-Pipe
Spec Star Stage IV Clutch/Carbon Fibre Drive Shaft (w/ loop)
Strange 12-bolt
T56 rebuild with upgrades
Baer Brake Kit (still working this out)
Chrome Moly LCA's, Panhard Bar, Torque Arm, SFC, and roll cage
BMR Sway Bars and STB
Autometer gauges, Harlan shift light, pillar pad and last but not least, white face gauge overlay
I think that is about it. As you can imagine, there are a ton of small details that we are still working out and I will post more info when I know (boost numbers, compression ratio, T56 upgrade parts, etc.) They should have my car for several weeks. I can't wait! Mike Morgan and gang have been really awesome (answering my bombardment of emails). With MMS's tuning, this car should make some pretty incredible numbers.

Re: MMS F1 427 here I come!!! That's what I was thinking. I am assuming I will need new fuel rails, too. We're going over this stuff this week to confirm everything. Any other suggestions? What about springs/shocks? Thanks!

Re: MMS F1 427 here I come!!! I wouldn't worry about the springs/shocks at this point, worry about the fuel...but if you are looking to drag race go with the QA1 HALS...
I would defiently go bigger on the injectors...

Re: MMS F1 427 here I come!!! Good point - with our previously planned setup (427 + D1SC) we were shooting for 700RWHP. Now with the custom intercooler and the F1 we are looking at 750+.
