I love it has decent power down low for driving in 5th gear on the street. Has the power up top to pull gears at 7200. My 331 made 417hp at 6500-6800rpm (dyno sheet shows same hp), 380ft lbs at 5200rpm on a DynoJet in 4th with a 4.56 rear gear. I think I will be putting her back together to finish my dyno session later this fall, we only got to the fuel setting and just pulled timing before she broke.
BTW when I had Ed did this cam I said I would be willing to sacrifice some top end hp so it would still be street friendly, that is why it does not have a ton of duration.

Thanks alot for compliments, its been a ton of work, yes the lower tq boxes got torn up again, now there a solid plate and should be overkill even for a 9 second car, as far as the cage goes, save yourself the money with the removable door bars, unless you are way out of shape its really not a hassle getting in and out. Since your in michigan you should just go straight to Team Z and have them do all the chassis work, they do some pretty amazing work. Moly is nice for weight savings but i heard people debating whether its actually stronger than mild steel. All the circle track guys use mild steel. My 8pt is moly and i think what ill end up doing is just keep the main hoop and rear bars and run a halo down bars and new door bars. I wish i did a 10 pt before but live and learn, and now most of the interior is out from the bodywork and im pulling the dash to do a heater core so while thats out i will just do the cage and be legal for tying to win dragweek next year
I have my nitrous kit pretty much worked out, going with nitrous pro flow solenoids and bottles, a NX plate thats good for a 300, and a nitrous pro flow progressive controller. The faceplated trans will be fine on the street, its a little noisy and will grind a gear here and there but all in all, there not that bad and a shtload of fun to drive in anger.
Thinkin of selling the blower and going to the spray. Just don't know if I wanna deal with filling the bottle all the time. Are you gonna be running a plate set-up?
Not sure why, I wanna do more and more racing and getting a wee bit fearful the paxton will take a dump. I know there is just as much chance of parts breakage with spray but I`m seeing so many guys going fast with it. You`re right, it`s not cheap.

Dude, that bumper is AWESOME! But yea, I think what Guy is trying to get at, are you worried about cooling at all?

With that bumper i wouldnt be concerned really at the strip, he's only on it for "that 10 seconds or less"
This is no race car, its driven on the street alot, and i drive it to the track as long as it is within 2 hours from my house. I'd drive it to atco or E-town if i didnt have to drive on the ****ty new york roads to get there
