Thanks guys i will post some pics soon as possible, i am getting the wheels painted black with a red pinstripe this weekend and puttting on a blackout kit and the ron fellows fender stripes in red. I cannot believe how unreal this car is, i came from a stock Z and it felt fast to me then lol. Any ideas on what it may make on a dynojet dyno? I have heard they call the mustang dynos "heartbreakers" and if my car put 653rwhp on that i think it may be in the 700rwhp range, what do you guys think?

Congrats. If you ever get up around Chattanooga, TN send me a message.

Very sweet sounding Z. Great numbers, I would guess that it should be at or about 700rwhp on a dyno jet, from what I have heard, and having been on three sperate dyno-jet dynos, and heard what the "about equivelant" on a mustang dyno was, so GREAT #'s!
