Maybe 450hp on the dyno. And is it at your house?

Here is one I painted a few weeks ago for a friend. He has the same car and engine setup minus the huffer. But he is going to run a 250 shot on 11:1 compresion and it has alum. ARP heads.

That would be sick in a Ranger. You never told us how much HP. You said it has spray and the centrifugal? I'm guessing 600+HP if so.
