I just got the dyno tune results on the zz502/502.  The net HP is 496 and I think the torque was somewhere in the hi 500s.
 
The Tremec TKO5 is fresh/new w/about 200 miles
The rear is a 69-71 unit that was rebuilt along with all the u-joints and back end
 
Provided I dont dump out at 8000 rpm - do you guys see and potenial issues?
 
Just curious - Does this car have mid 11s potential running uncorked w/M&H's?

High 500s for torques, and slicks? Yeah...Imma thinkin yer prolly gonna shred some half shafts, and prolly twist the yokes in the diff, unless you baby that puppy off the line...which will kill any hope of runnin 'lebens....
Sounds like the engine is right where it's advertised to be, too, so that's a breath o fresh air, these days! IS that at the flywheel, or on the ground?

Joel - Thats on the ground with a RamJet, Heads, cam, crank, and headers and side pipes.  Its all real mild stuff..  My builder wanted me to go  1 level up and I'd be doin about 15% more BUT I want to drive to work in the summer...  Stock, it wasnt even close.  I saw the number from before I had the car and on the dyno (same dyno before and after) it was only 437 hp and hi 4s in torque....
 
I guess juice and a blower wouldnt be smart....  lol..
 
Paul - If your reading this, Bruce w/the GTO just did 10.80s.... AND he drove to Atco..
