Sort of OT, picked mine up today.
Not going in my vette, but in my '70 Nova

Took engine guy close to 12 months to get of his **** and get it done

Acording to dyno sheet, it knocks out 818hp@7000rpm@ only 7pounds boost

Guy claims we can squeeze between 900 and a 1000hp out of it with some more boost and tuning and some more revs(should go way past 7 gorillas).............BS?

cheers
Jim
