Looks nice so far! What are the specs on the motor. I've got a 68 SS 396, but it's not turbo'd. Just got it painted not too long ago though.

Sweeeet!!! Look's and sound's great. I guess I will be the first to ask about the 12.1 compression on a FI motor. Why is it so high or am I missing something?

no typo. it is a 12.1 motor. It not uncommon on a race only motor. right now its on a steady diet of c16. And might be going to methanol. Or gas and a w/a intercooler. But I am trying to decide. The higher compression helps with spool. The main reason for lower compression is to run pump gas. I talked to a guy that run the import series, and his motors was 16.1 with 56 lbs boost. He said from idle to full spool took 2 tenths of a second.

Street vs race...

Cool, what are your final goals/numbers... or is it a wild card?

id like for it to run the same as the nitrous. Its best was 6.32 in the 1/8th. But no real idea. I know it feels stronger now than the nitrous even though it isnt running as good.
