Were the dyno numbers with or without the NOx?
Very nice looking car and congrats. I do think the nitrous is a bet of overkill. Hope you enjoy driving it now and keep us posted if u get it to the strip.

Manual brakes work great. Mine has all stock brakes and regularly stop it from 140+ mph.

Why such a small cam. With those heads and intake combo you should be making into the 630+ HP range. You hardly need a converter with that kind of duration numbers. Something in the 240s @ .050 would still be very streetable and that converter would work well. Is it a flat tappet or roller cam? Good numbers but the rest of the motor and car can use more cam.
a solid roller would pull harder but it looks like a durable, low maintanance, well designed build. Look at that low and midrange torque!
And he don't have to wind the **** out of it to get the power.BTW I love tripowers.
Any nitrous dyno testing to be done?
My 383 tripower has a nitrous plate setup as well.

Well, it's good to see after all that time and money that your alternator is "good", as written on the top of it in the pic. Run out of money when the electrical time came?
I'm just rattlin yer cage, it looks really good, has plenty of power, and I'm just a bit jealous, it the truth be told.
I've got my 69 back on blocks again after putting it down, going for a test drive and the pedal went to the floor. I've got caliper rebuild stuff. I've already previously installed a booster and master cylinder, so I hope the calipers do the trick. It's pretty nasty inside the calipers. And, no, I don't have the money for SS sleeved right now.

All I can say is - "NICE JOB".
Any finished project is motivation for those of us still working on theirs.
Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the ride.
