I am running a low CR 408 on a TH400... I had a modded STS kit with a 67 on my T-56 make 600+ before I blew the stock block. Went big time now with LMR and am doing a PT88 rearmount.. Had it in my CETA before an unfortanate accident and now LMR is working to swap it all to a 35th SS I got... Shooting for 850-900+ on race gas. Had this setup running 700+RWHP on pump without much timming... could have seen 750. Will know more in the next couple weeks...
As for your setup.. depends on your goals.. how you plan on using the car (mine is streetable, but not DD).. etc.

thanks for the positve info...much appreciated!
as for your crappy welds and what you don't like
comments, i would rather have "crappy welds" then loose sections of pipe &
hose clamps which= more issues/leaks to track down...let me see
what u runts can fab,...not to mention make hp/tq numbers on one off custom builds like that shop does. maybe when u personally get asked to tune for a well know racer and salad dressing maker,lol... then i'll allow you to shyt on work you could'nt do on your best day. thank you for your understanding in this matter.
thats all i have to say about that.

It seems no matter what negative issues people point out to you, you seem to always have an answer. It seems you have your mind set on using Mongrol Motors to do your setup.
I have numerous horror stories from local CT people regarding their shop. I wish you luck with your build. Just make sure you have your Vaseline jar ready when they hand you the bill.

Im pretty sure everyone who posted is only looking out for you by giving you the heads up. It is your car and your money on the line and if everything you have seen from there shop tells you that there level of workmanship is what you are looking for you will get exactly what you wanted . ITs a cool project youare doing and it should run good. Post some pics as the work is done.

if that were the case it would be appreciated, but what we have here is a
bunch of 3rd party opinion related to another hidden agenda. i've never had to defend the shop nor will i, as that would hint to me second guessing what i allready know.
people will always run the negative route when story telling. and thats exactly what
i would like to avoid. then again this is a "public forum" so from that point of view
i should expect the 1 sided finger pointing to a certain degree...
i go with the group of happy satisfied customers reviews, not the half dozen people who wanted something for nothing and get pissy when they realized they cant afford shop time...hence the pissed off garage mechanics silly claims.
