13 Lbs of boost on E-85, 500 ft lbs at 4300 rpm and 450 HP at 5800 rpm. Needs more throttle body area. Ran it for over 4 hours on the dyno, so I would say she's tuff.
I am in the midst of a great flog to get to GAD (Great AMC Day ) at national trails friday, Will post more later.
Sorry no video, This thrash to race the car this weekend has me whipped.
It's 2:30 AM and I just came in from the garage.
Great numbers! I hope i can get close to 450hp NA

Stock stroke, .030" overbore.
Should get to shake the car down at Mason Dixon dragway test and tune Saturday.
Sunday is the Mopar meet, it's 2 years to the day when at this meet, I made the stupid decision to go racing again! :doh:
AMC's and Jeeps are welcome to come too.

The dual scrolls work great on a straight 6.

No times yet...RAIN >:( The rest of the weekend was slated for "Sponsorship Commitments" (AKA Honey Do list). After the free rane, support and help with the car my wife has shown, I gladly gave this week end up. Thanks Barb!
Friday is the new tenetive date for the shake down. I want to take it easy and get a feel for the car, see how my designs work and make some 1/8 mile passes before letting it rip down the 1/4. Everyone involved has WAY too much time in this car for me to be a "hero" on the first pass ;)
I've seen that happen at the track before.


OK, here are some pics

Car weighs 2175 W/Driver

saw the car in person running and it sounds quiet. if he ran a bigger fuel cell a front mount and an exhaust cops wouldn't bug him.

:roll: much

The Toyota struts were just too heavy. I did not like the way it was coming out.
Yes the ShopBot has been busy since I converted it to do alum.


Thanks Guy's
It actually did come out kinda cool.
Now if I could just RUN it!
