I don't know, still trying to get a healthy engine back into it. My changes over the winter paid dividends on the dyno last month. We got to 910 hp on just the engine, about 50 more than before.
The first pull with one nitrous stage added 355 hp and I was happy. I was sure we would find about 50 more hp before adding the second stage (set for 300 hp). Unfortunately we noticed my crankcase vacuum went away and there was more moisture in the vacuum pump than usual. A quick teardown showed a cracked cylinder wall that ended our day. I guess the old Bowtie block had reached her limit. I now have a new Dart Big M block and am reassembling. Dyno in two weeks and hopefully to the track in two more weeks. If I win the lottery I'll go to Run n Gun and have some fun.
