Personally I haven't dyno'd it yet... but I'm guessing it should be making 600+ without forced induction.

once I get a new clutch and a few other odds and ends... im gonna get it dyno tuned... and unleashed it on the track yes

Engine bay looks good. Hard to really see the red lug nuts but not sure I would like them. Same for the rear diffuser - seems like a very bulky add-on.
