Kevin,

Thanks very much for your kind words. I will be able to tell you when I actually get the car! It is en route from Kirkham as we speak. The pics are from Kirkham's shop. I am very much looking forward to seeing it in person and actually driving it.

I do know that the current vintage Paxton set up on the car is limiting the HP to approx 750 HP and 6000 rpm since the 527 cammer is pulling much much more air than available from the vintage Paxtons. I decided to keep the vintage setup since I like the look better than the modern Paxton models and wanted to stay with the vintage Super Snake look. If I wanted to get more HP I was told by Keith Craft that I can always swap out to modern Paxtons.
