This feedback is about 4 years late, as I'm a pipefitter that works all over the country (building America, baby) and he built and installed this engine for me in '12 I think. Wasn't able to play with the car being on the road, so finally sent it to Richard Clarks Garage to finish it.
Well, his mutton motor made 580 hp at 24 lbs of boost!! When I called to let him know what it was doing, and to go through his notes as far as what was in that engine, he said that engine shouldn't do that and with a cast crank I may want to turn the boost down to 20 lbs.
Went to pick up the car yesterday and met Sydwinder at the track. At 20 lbs of boost it ran a 7.3 in the 1/8th and whipped a Mustang in the process. As I'm in the process of moving to another job, just 1 run and loaded her up for the 5 hour return drive. If your in need of an engine, Poppa Lou is the man. Thanks!!!
