Still have some minor things to do to the body, but not the chunk of it is done. Runs good. It brought up the low end a bit, and the upper range a lot. The tune is def conservative, but it still pulls way harder than stock. It was 50 degrees today and I was having a lot of traction issues until the tires was really warmed up. Should be sitting at about 500whp now.

Outstanding. Believe me when I say that 500 hp (or more) is a shit load of fun. Nothing like driving next to someone that thinks they have a badass car, and then you step on the throttle and smile as you watch them cry in the mirror behind you. :)
I have 550hp under the hood of my car too Shortz. Lots of fun bro, lots of fun.

My '87 was 425+ and I couldn't wipe the sh** eating grin off my face every time I got behind the wheel. Have fun and be safe! What's next.....cage, racing seat, 5point harness?

Awesome setup dude!

Never been in a 500 hp car before, so I can't even imagine the acceleration.

Maintaining warranty and the power curve is a flatter on a TVS. The centrifugals will create more power, but you have to tune them to wind them out more to get the most out of them. We're talking going from 6800RPMs from stock to 7600 or more. This Roush tune got me to about 7k RPM and it pulls hard starting really low. A lot more fun on the street, IMO. At the track, however, TT and Prochargers are usually the way to go
