Pretty impressive, sure looks like it was done right.
Dyno numbers?
You running pump gas?
Engine pics?

Not much to dislike about pretty many any part on the entire car.
But out of curiousity, why do such a custom beauty and use cobra r wheels?
I think something a little less generic would really set it off and make the car near perfect visually.

We had it on the dyno once but were running out of fuel over 5000rpm, so in goes the boost-a-pump and it's back on the dyno today. Numbers were as follows, pulling out at 4800rpm. It should go to 6000rpm all day long so I expect more out of it.......

661rwhp
750rwtq
13psi
E85

I don't want it to make any more power than that. The trans will be mighty pissed off and it already has traction issues.

As for the rims, simple....I like them.
 
very similar build to mine. Looking at the list of parts, I knew your fuel system was the limiting factor. When the cubic $ you've dropped into everything, you should consider a 3 pump setup, and I'm quite sure that motor is not going to sneeze at 1000 rwhp. I've pushed 762rwhp through my old TKO, before there were TKO 500s and TKO 600s. So you've still got a little room, there.

I made the 762 on pump gas. I would love to see you take advantage of the boost you can run on E85... 20 psi would a ton more power, but then again, that turbo might be used up before you get there.

Anyway, sick setup! For a street car, you don't need any more power, but it sure would be nice to take advantage of the engine you've built.

I love the headlights on it. Normally I wouldnt like those tail lights but it makes the car look unique and it DEFINITELY works on the car.
