Have to give special props to G-Force Motorsports in Pearland and Erik @ HKE. All the guys went above and beyond helping me get this thing going and making sick power with average stuff.
Here is a link to the photo shoot today. Again, big thanks to Jay, Mikey, Robert, Greg, and Jonathan at G-Force, Erik Koenig at HKE and Tricky Ricky at NRC for making the Darts work well.

The car made 556rwhp @ 7500 rpm through a t-400, 5200 PTC 8" converter and a 12-bolt with 4.11 and a 325 drag radial with a pump gas, hydraulic roller setup. What is the most impressive is the power curve.... nice and flat, not peaky at all. Props to everyone who helped make this project a success.

I was surprised to see Mike as well, but it was nice to see everyone I haven't seen in a long time.
I agree on the drinks afterwards!!! Tell your mom and dad I said hello.

Peak TQ is usually around 4800-5400 RPMS.
The converter is flashing past peak TQ. Hence the low numbers. Take it to the track Ernie and enjoy your 9sec N/A Time Slip!!!
Dyno numbers do matter. If its a turd on the dyno then most likely its a turd on the track.
