What to expect
Well i am starting to realize the potential for injury i am building this year, LMAO. The hopes are the new motor will make 700 Hp all by itself, then hit it with nitrous. I will start with the 150 shot then sneak up on it till i get the 275 hit in. We are going to tune the kit and spary it on the dyno. i know the kits are safe and fat out of the box. My buddy just dynoed his, and they added an NOS kit with 82 nitrous jets and 91 fuel? close enough. Anyway they swapped the jets end for end, and gained 65 HP . thats pretty huge gain. And the air fuel raio looked great too, so that was a safe swap. I plan on calling Edelbrock again and see if somebody there will forget about safe and tell me what they have learned with jetting?
The second thing i did, was I ordered a Coan instant reaction powerglide with all the race goodies and a T-brake. That should really make things interesting.The launch ought to be worth the track photographers time
As for numbers, once the dyno sheets are all in i guess a guy can start to calculate track times? The car should run 10.40-10.20 on the motor, and mid to low 9's on spray.
How far off have some of you guys been after you get the motor off the dyno, and you get it in the car?

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
