If I decide to powershift and run on Drag-Radials - I should be able to run at least mid - 11's. However - on street tires and without power shifting I don't expect to get below 12.5 or so... Getting traction with my 3.55 rear,a 3.27 first gear on my TKO and street tires will be the most serious problem...
Will see. I still have to drive 500 miles at lower RPM's to break in the engine...
This could take a month or two...

Oilivier,
Did you get the engine off e-bay? I see that they sell there. Did you check with any past customers before ordering?

Here are some of the customer comments from the feedback forum:
Praise : Motor arrived and looks great, Can't wait to get it installed. Thanks
Praise : Had a GREAT experience with Mark the motor was everything he advertised and more
Praise : AAA+++ Don't deal with anyone else!!! These guys are the best !!! Very helpfull
Praise : 2nd engine bought 1st dyno at lees dyno svc at 431 hp [same type] WILL BUY AGAIN
(this engine was advertised at 420 HP)
There are many more comments like that. Very few comments are not good - but the complaints are NOT about the quality of the engines
