We only made one pull before the sun broke through the rainy clouds yesterday and I rushed it to the alignment shop. Going on a cruise today and will drive it this week to determine what the driveability needs.
On the pull
It made 488.76 HP & 458.59 TQ with the Prosystems carb straight out of the box and on 34 degrees of timing. With a conservative 25% drive train loss (automatic, mechanical fuel, water & clutch fan) that equates to 650 crank HP which was exactly what I told Mike Lewis I wanted out of this thing. I honestly expected around 440/440 to the tires so 489/459 was excellent and made more than everyone at the shop predicted!
Next Friday the car will be back for some dyno tuning & finishing up a few small things we just didn't have time to complete. Not sure the motor has much more in it but we will play with the timing and see.
