It's Alive
Just got back from FLP. My car looks like....well a car again. Everything is all back together. Dan fired it up for me................MAN that is one sick sounding engine. 408ci with the Twin Precision T66 turbos to feed it...........can't wait till Tuesday (DYNO DAY) Only one small problem the stock fuel pump is not working (it is used to balance the tanks only) so the problem there needs to be fixed. This has been a very long project but seeing and hearing her today really made my day. I guess the big question is how much is she going to make on pump gas. That and what is the new weak link 
More news to come.............I guess I better get the garage cleaned out so I have a place to park it

Congrats!!!
Good news! I'd need a lot more details (including max boost) before I'd take a guess... but based on the generic info given I'll say over 800 rwhp once you turn the boost up a little!
