My engine dynoed at 482 HP at the flywheel and 502 ft.lbs. torque. I haven't had it dynoed in the car (plan to get it fine-tuned in the Spring) so no idea what's actually getting to the rear wheels. The car hooks up pretty well and pulls hard. I've broken the tires loose a few times shifting into 2nd. All but one of those times it just kept pulling straight and the tires grabbed again. Once, it got pretty loose and, although I didn't get sideways, I was close to losing it. Lesson learned - that stretch of road looked just like all the others when I hit second a bit hard. Won't do that again.
