Hello Everyone,
finally after a year of hell, we see some daylight. Took the car to Pro Dyno in Tempe AZ to get tuned on a chasis jet dyno.
On the first pull with my dad's tune we pulled 660 rear wheel horsepower. But the car was incredible fat. Wayne started trimming fuel off, played with the timing, and several other sections of the speed pro software. Each pull the car put down more and more. I hit a point were I told Wayne it was good enough.
I want a little longevity, plus it's more street car than anything. He assured me that if I bumped the timing up a little more I could get another 50 at the rear wheels. Maybe later on I will do this, but as of now its good enough, look at the graph to see how much more power the car made with there tune. (Also I am running a TH400 tranny, 4 inch steel shaft, ford 9 etc, so I lose at least 20% through drivetrain.)

If anyone ever needs tuning on Accel DFI or Speed Pro Chris Hines and Wayne are excelent people to deal with!
I went to Firebird raceway to see what the car would do in the 1/4. On the first pass I took things easy to make sure my chasis welds would hold. Then the second pass I leaned into it a bit more. Car felt stable as could be and stayed straight.
I was trying to cool the car down in the pits when the last call came out over the PA for staging lanes. So to the lines I went, the car was right at 200* before I even started.
Do the burnout, launch the car, spin a little, start haulin pretty good. Ended up running out of gear with the 3.70's, went in and out of the throttle 4 times, and chunked the blower belt of. Managed a 10.15 at 129 mph. Ambient air was 95*, plus the air was terrible, track elevation is 1300 ft, not sure what it would be corrected.(?) This car will go 9's like nothing once geared.

The great thing is it has excellent street manners. This was at 13 psi of intercooled boost. Stock Sallee modified crate engine, hydraulic roller etc, with peanut oval port heads. Not sure what I will do in the near future, but it could be very fast if built for the blower.
Thanks for the past help everyone,
Chad
