not yet. i actually just got the car bolted back together. changed out the gt40 for a performer rpm, and swapped out the shorties and h-pipe for longtubes and a prochamber. also, i thought for a v1, my blower was abnormally quiet. this ended up being due to a loose belt. it screams now. i would estimate about 430whp in its present state. im contacting adperformance today regarfing a dart 331, afr 185, custom cam longblock so hopefully within the next 6-8 weeks i will be swapping out the motor. as i said before, im looking for 550whp. i think that is plenty for a street car that will see very limited or no track time at all.

yes. i cant justify the extra cash for the iron eagle considering i am shooting for well under what the sportsman is capable of. the iron eagle would be a major overkill.

You are correct, the dart sportsman is all that is needed. It is cheaper than the iron eagle, and it will still support more power than 99% of us here will ever make, plus it is machined to accept hydro. lifters which saves ~$350 on buying retro fit lifters. If I ever do up one, it will be a dart sportsman.
