I don't plan on running any NHRA events with this car maybe a few IHRA so the HP really doesn't matter as long as it will run under the index I will be happy.

We did not have a very good dyno session. We only got to make three good pulls before the water brake broke on the dyno. The plan was to compare the stock Cobra Jet 735 with the Quick Fuel replacement. We made the three pulls with the 735. 493 HP, 500 HP and 502 HP all around 5900.

I forgot to mention we made 502 hp on 93 octane gas and the timing was set at 34 degrees.

Thats around a 100hp less than the 428 engines running around now-a-days. cool to see you running again!
