Should be good for 460 -480 rwhp with an m6 and it should fly if you can get it to hook. Time to start saving for a better rear. My new engine has the exact same rotating assembly as yours and I'm looking forward to having some fun this summer, good luck with your setup.

Thanks for your input guys. This engine will be accomodated by a mcleod twin disc/billet steel flywheel combo and t56. I have a nitrous outlet plate kit going on aswell. 175 hit should be more than enough to get this car moving in full trim.

Don't forget the McLeod blowshield, better to be safe than sorry, but you definately have a stout setup.

I am running an almost identical setup with a smaller cam, so yours will undoubtedly fly! Great choice of parts!

E85 seems to be taking the racing world by storm hear it gives some pretty good gains as well

If it was available here I would run it in the TA

From what I hear, E85 needs more injector than pump gas. I gotta do my research. Thanks again for all the positive compliments guys!
