That's awesome, Fran's an old LT1 guy himself so I am sure he enjoyed seeing one come in and make some power, especially one as clean as yours is.

The car is looking great. Sounds like there is still some power left in there as well.

Thanks again for the good feedback... glad I could help.

Sweet, that should be a nasty ride

How do you like that 4" catback? Is that a pretty tight fit over the axle, does it bang or vibrate on the car at all? Any cons to having it?

It's going to be a good time for sure. So far no complaints on the 4" catback. The fit is a little tight over the axle but it tucks up really nice and no problems. I don't see a con unless you prefer to see exhaust come out of both tips lol.

Very nice build. I have been planning a boosted build for a couple years and I cannot decide between doing a turbo build or a procharged build. My goals are similar, I would like to be in the 700 rwhp range with a very similar motor build

Great build, love all of the pics, now post some vids of it on the street

Congrats on the numbers! The car looks like it's ready to tear someones head off when he floors it on the dyno, it just lurched forward!

You can say that again. I've been driving mine off and on, and still get giddy and giggle like a schoolgirl every time I get into the boost and scare the crap out of someone on the streets around here.
And yes....you will be giving a lot of rides. I've been giving rides in the car, and rides on me from chicks that get "sensory overload" from riding in the car!
Lol.
God bless American Muscle and Prochargers.

Thanks and yes it will make it to the track once I make sure the car is running the way it should. Need to put some solid street miles on it and then hunt for a proper wheel/tire setup for the track.

Looking forward to taking videos and such when I take the car out. Didn't really think of it but wonder what kind of gas mileage I will see keeping it reasonably out of boost lol. I was hoping the reason I haven't heard from you much was due to the ladies keeping you busy.
