Lew,

A good rule of thumb is you can double the horsepower with 15 psi (1 atmosphere) of pressure. The Ford 3.5 puts out 270 some horsepower so we figure we can get 500 hp out of the motor with 10-15 psi of boost. Ford engineers tell us we can get 500 out of the motor...so we will see! I am not sure about the torque numbers but I will let you know.

You will find LOTS and LOTS of room in the car; we built if for TALL guys.

There are no lights on the car at SEMA, but we are making the car so it can be driven on the street. We have PIAA lights on the shelf at home, but we didn't get a chance to get them on yet.

The car should be unbelievably fast.

David
