Looks like we may need a different tranny yoke if the housing that goes around the Bowler tailshaft has needle roller bearings. Also Chris is making a cutdown version for more tunnel clearance.

At the lowest boost setting it can be set to, it made 862 hp.

The SST intake and cam will likely move that up a teeny bit more.

I'm also doing some custom work to the Outlaw outer stubs to clear some bolts.
These will be a bolt in deal thanks to the combined work of Nelson Racing Engines and Gforce Engineering.
The Outlaw stubs clear the Spohn control arms and maybe others. We machined bolt clearance into a backup set we made for this project and will have them powder coated and shipped out tomorrow.
Once we get these little details worked out the Outlaw 33 spline axles and stubs will be a bolt in kit

I wont even throw a hp rating on these bad boyz, this is Promod stuff LOL

You can tell me the real #'s Bruce. I've had top secrete security clearance at Boeing, Northrop and a couple other places

My lips are sealed..

If you watch the Nelson Racing video of them showing cars they are working on, they walk by this one black camaro and state it will be at 1600hp when its done. Hmmmmm, I wonder if that was Bruces camaro sitting there?

Did his conversation sound like this?

He told me a number in a round about way.... but... it's almost unbelievable. The only reason I believe it is his and Nelson's integrity, but still... DAYUM!
Actually he told everyone but I guess only I could see it

Based on the data it looks like this motor will get well over 20 mpg and still make big numbers. The full run is tentatively scheduled for 3/1 so hope to have some more concrete info then. Definitely getting closer.

The GForce differential and Outlaw axles are all installed. Just waiting for a few "special" pieces for the driveshaft.

So basiacally the car is done except for the "special" pieces for the driveshaft.

Cool. Maybe YOU can get some pictures and actual specific info for us. The owner is not very forthcoming with specifics.
