How much horsepower are you expecting from this setup? And what else have you already done? Very cool!

Its a built 347 with trickflow 215 heads custom cam,... all bolt ons!
The car before the vic jr was making 687 at the wheels on the dry kit and 478 at the wheels on the motor.
I dont know if im going to get much out of it on the motor but on the nitrous i plan on picking up a few more, and hope this little intake is enough to help me crack atleast a 9.99 pass out of it. Plus the car runs so much better now on a carb style intake rather then the fast,.... just throttle response and idle are amazingly better! ( thats very important to me as i drive this car almost everywhere)
