looking good, how much hp is that gear drive worth? What heads did you end up using
The gear drive should be worth at least 50 hp. Still have parasitic loss from turning the compressor either way but eliminating the belt should help quite a bit. We figure the blower in general at 65k rpm consumes about 150 hp. The heads on this motor are the TFS R 225 CnC'd version with quite a bit of work done to them at this point. All of the intake runners are moved over and have been welded to allow for 3/8 .120 wall pushrods not to mention Inconel exhaust valves. These heads flow really well for what they are. I'm really hoping to make 1400 rwhp + with this combo.

You building this car to take a roadtrip to Oklahoma City to take on the big guys from Street Outlaws?
I actually met some of those guys when we were out at PRI a few months ago and they were really a good bunch of down to earth guys. I sure would love to get a chance to take a shot at some of them though!!
