Picked up the car from Speed Inc today... 408.4 RWHP
390.9 RWTQ
New motor, stock pulley, no cats, through full exhaust. Cant wait to see how it breaks in. Man does it pull, and amazingly it hooks up very well. I have stock 3.42s and I am still learning how to get out of the hole. Seems like it is more difficult with A/C defroster blowing. I plan on changing oil tomarrow and resetting the computer, it is throwwing codes. This thing is going to get me in trouble. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I forgot to add the sig. Hope to make 420/400 once broke in. The best part is it hooks up very well with the stock 3.42s

Did you break in the motor at all before throwing it on the dyno?

Nice to leave the optyions open as far as the funny gas goes, no immediate plans. Car breaks the tires loose going into third at 6700 RPMs in the mid 80s I am guessing, too busy trying to go straight/ looking at the tach. Car is a hoot. Only problem is leaving the line is difficult, havent got the hang of it yet, May need more tuning and time in the seat on my part.
