I think those exhaust mods should get you right at your 500rwhp mark. Then it's time for some 3.73s

3.73'S will be to much for his s/c car, 3.42's would be perfect.

Good luck

Sweet. When you go in to have it retuned, you might as well go ahead and get a cam. I am thinking about getting one since they are running the special this month. They recommended the C2 cam, but i think the 112 LSA is not enough for a supercharged car. I was thinking more like 114-115 and maybe a reverse split pattern. 224 230 .581 .593 115 with springs, retainers, push rods, and a double roller timing set. Definitely gears, too. You need to take a spin in my car and see what the 4.10's are like with the 345's...sick. Then you will be sold on the 'need' for some 3.42's or 3.73's.

I think that if we go back and dyno later in the year your numbers will be over 500. Your vette was strong on the dyno so there is no doubt that the power is there. After you left and we put mine on the dyno I had some K/R and Jayson fixed it ,The first pull on motor was a sad 410! So he hooked up the laptop and found the problem and bam 431. It was still off about 10 hp from the last time it was on the dyno in March. So all was good and we went a head and sprayed it looking to get 600 RWHP but all we could get out of it was 588 RWHP! So it picked up 18RWHP with what we did but will be looking for 12 hp extra somewhere next time to get to 600. I will tell you that the Torco additive that Busa used made me a believer that it works and will be useing it next time. Thanks to MTI for a fun day. We will have to get together "Busa" and ride out somewhere for bite to eat and a few beers.
