Great shop..........they've been in the game longer than most. I remember Lidio's yellow coupe that he drove all the way to Bradenton Florida for the now defunct Spring Break Shootout. Car was a really fast street car for the day.

Not sure how much boost you plan on pulleying it for, but don't be surprised if it ends up making closer to 500. 10psi with a good set of heads and intake, custom tune, and a good tuner goes a long way.

I might go one pulley size smaller than stock, Lidio was thinking I would see around 10 psi with the Power-pipe as it sits. I would love to be around 12 psi and de-tune to about 500hp. My magic number is 500hp. :headbang:

Buddy of mine with a TFS H/C/I combo and 10psi with that blower made 485rwhp with Kurgan tuning it. Said it would have made right at 500 if it still had the stock cam in it................had a N/A cam in it.

Nice numbers indeed! I will have to call Lidio today or tomorrow and have him switch out the stock pulley if I'm coming up short of 500. Not sure why I'm stuck on 500, just seems like a nice number to shoot for. :drive:

I was starting to wonder why no posts from you. Has the shop said anything about making your 500hp mark?

It will probably be tuned on the safer side and be around 475. If I want a little more later down the line I can always through a smaller blower pulley on and re-tune. I just can't wait to pick it up!!! :headbang:

The difference between 475 and 500 is just a number. You won't notice a difference with the seat-o-the-pants meter. :beer:

My car is just about done - getting a front end allignment and cleaned up right now, picking it up tomorrow morning!!!! :headbang:

She laid down a nice safe 470 horses with over 480 torque, I can't wait to drive it!! :drive: :headbang: Hopefully the rain stays away for me tomorrow for the ride back!!

Gonna be a totally new car to me, curious to see the ride quality diferences with going back to the stock springs. My hanging idle issue is history as well, probably an intake leak that caused it, Lidio said it drives and idles perfect..... :headbang:
