I guess I was thinkin' you wouldn't have to dyno it yourself - you'd just have to be there when he did. But maybe that's a geographic challenge.

Why don't you just call Lidio @ Alternative. Do a search on the net, get his # and call. He's a really nice guy. I doubt that he builds so many cars in a year that he'd forget. He can tell you everything.

My only concern would be the 24lb injectors. Usually a car with that much power would have 30's or 36's. As for the ET's...if it has that much power it better see mid to high 12's on street tires. That's what I ran last night with around 400rwhp on my Ponys and my track is @ over 3k ft.

Realistically, with a drag oriented suspension/chassis and good driving -- 400hp should get you close to or into 10's. You can probably drive pretty damn bad and still hit 12's with it.

As for whether it is what it is -- no idea. on your own there...
