450rwhp is enough to have a lot of fun and get into trouble...and yet still be reliable.

My mistake...... Joe Hunnicut said 450 now but only because he shut it down at 4500RPM. I asked and he stated the car will pull 500-550rwhp after the new wires are on. We'll see..... Post as soon as I know!

I never knew what my numbers were after my head work and cam, I always thought it would at least 400ish after all bolt ons. But it looks like its still going to be 500-550ish after the plug wires are replaced.
