- Performance
- Power: 318hp@4200, 429lb-ft@3300 (estimates; actual rear wheel numbers are 254.3hp and 342.9lb-ft) It is currently tuned only for street driving, and only on the fuel side. The ignition has not been touched yet; I'm sure there is some power to be made there. Dyno Graph Those dyno numbers were also prior to "project HP", where I added heads, cam, intake, etc.
- Quarter Mile: Unknown (I am estimating high 12's, low 13's assuming a weight of about 3400lbs; I have yet to weigh it. Previous owner said he went 12.98 with it with a Holley 750 dbl pumper.)
