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!
AMC's and Jeeps are welcome to come too.
The dual scrolls work great on a straight 6.

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.

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!
