I drove it easy for a short run and man, it's a whole different beast!
The power, sound & reving ability of this motor N/A is awesome.
I'm going to have to play with the manual proportioning valve. It needs to be adjusted to find the right braking ratio to the front radial skinnies. Shifting a face plated TKO will take some time to learn. Also, the 6" cowl extended lift off hood is another experience for my right side line of sight.
It's going on the dyno this weekend to get tuned on the 104 octane fuel I just got in a 55 gal drum. Hope to have some dyno numbers N/A.. I'm not messing with the nitrous until the motor has a few hundred miles on it and all checks good.

I have modified Aerospace drag rotors/aluminum calipers on all 4 cornors, with stainless braded lines. Eliminated the hydroboost pump steering & brakes, all manual. Strange manual master cylinder that is offset, makes removing drivers side cam cover easy. And a Wilwood manul proportioning valve and modified brake pedal lever for more brake push leverage.

The Racecraft sterring shaft gives a lot of header clearance. I have Kooks step headers that start as 5/8" primaries and open up to 3/4" primaries. Plenty of room next to the steering shaft with 3/4" diameter tubes next to it. The steering kit had to be mocked up with the driver header installed, then cut to the length to get this clearance. The shafts come extra long. It's not to bad turning fast with the skinnies up front. I would not want to try it with factory size tires up front.
