Now about those HP expectations...They have the final say as to how far they will to go with it.

The Standing Order of the Day is to keep the car safe and reliable...in spite of what I say I think I want !

The guys in the shop are really good about that...And they've talked me down from the clouds a few times.

(No You can't put a (crashed) GTR motor in it and make it AWD for a hundred dollars)

That keeps me as a satisfied customer.

So far we are shooting for about 475rwhp.
We'll see how close it actually comes to that ... and at what rpm it makes power.

But the bigger picture here is not all about the numbers, but how fast it goes down the track...and there are a lot of other factors involved to make it all come together.

Will keep you posted ...

You seem to be being reasonable about the build and not hung up on the numbers so that should help you enjoy the build. I got 406/302 with the 8 pound and Stillen CBE on a very safe tune so your numbers seem like they could be possible.
