BTW.. you were pretty close on your guess.. I underestimated how much the smaller TB and exhaust would cost in the car.. still, plenty of power and to be honest more would just prove challenging to hook.

The 460 might hit 550 rwhp.. maybe..

I said it before, Penny's beautiful. Why not just put the Autorad closeout panel on and call it a day? It'll open things up for viewing...

It's more than you need, that's for sure. I wanted to say I told you so, but I figured it was a bad idea seeing you are shooting my car soon.

I like how the DSE panel extends into the engine bay... cleans things up.

Might fab those parts and integrate into the Autorad deal.. I will decide after Coast Mesa.

Nah, he just tells everyone he's shooting they're cars soon so that we all have to be nice to him. He was supposed to shoot mine Wednesday, but that didn't happen so now I still have to pay him a compliment about his engine numbers,

Hey Steve, nice numbers! It should be more than enough to keep you busy over the summer.

So Costa Mesa is still a go, right?

Gawd -- I'm so glad I don't have a Camaro -- He doesn't want pix of my old station wagon.... So here goes.... HEY, RUPP -- your motor sounds like a itty bitty Honda with a coffee can muffler....










Great looking engine bay and the new numbers are killer.... nice job!

Its amazing to me how great this car was and yet, it always comes out a step ahead no matter what you do! Maybe you'll get bored with it in a couple of years and sell it to me .
