Thanks guys, i drove it to a dyno comp on saturday, ran it up made almost 715hp @wheels with extremley rich tune fatter than 10:1 a/f ratio had to shut it off, cause i think we cracked the flex plate. The wideband doesn't read any richer than 10.0:1 but still happy with the power, considering how rich it was and needs a retune since i've done a few changes for the better. Then drove home nice and carefully. i'll try and get more photo's from some people that were there.

normal driving, when you shut the throttle the ecu cuts the fuel as you slow down to idle. The 4th run was aborted because of sparks coming off the flexplate. bigpsi, the action shot is a killa thanks. Quote: Originally Posted by Wyndup Impressive!
