I'm gonna try to get a dyno within the next couple of weeks, But it will not be accurate because i'm still running a tune from my TR224 cam & i think i'm getting false knock & i will not spend any money on tuning my existing setup. But it will atleast get us some rough #'s.

Understand.. You got alot of mods.. Was going to get ALOT of mods like you have some time in the future and knowing how much HP people gain with extra bolt ons sure helps us people that are somewhat starting out. I want to make mine (eventually) a drag car and rare weekender. But its all about time and money. Thanks alot and keep me posted.
