To say it's impressive is an understatement. It was solid back in 2019 when you bought it, and now it's running with big horsepower and looks as good as you said it would. You did a great job on this project. The car being in awesome condition to begin with certainly helped it's transformation. I'm looking forward to some dyno and track numbers, but for now, the motor made the hairs on my arm stand up. ;)

Started 1st round of tuning, carb is too big and running lean, have to get something else in there, had to shut off early, still makes ok power though on 91 octane

Also weighed it. The car is all steel, full interior with a big block.

For reference a Hellcat Redeye laid down 580whp corrected to my 600 on the same dyno, so I’m doing ok so far, I can probably get another 50-80 out of it.

A little draggy hit tells me interesting things, with a bog and spinning 2.0 60 foot, and went 6.50 1/8, short shifting at 5.8k. Hmmmm might be faster than what I planned after I sort it out. I tell you what though, that bench seat I left in makes it interesting when you wood it haha.

Coming along very nicely. Did you mention how much compression you're running with the combo?
