It makes 467 hp 517 tq at the flywheel. Im planning on getting rear wheel numbers this spring being i finally have the tune where i want it. As far as the et goes i havent had the car to the 1/4 with this combo... hoping for mid to high 11's.

Thats some good HP numbers, I'd think you'd be in the 11's once you get it dialed in.

Re: March 2013 COTM **winner**
That is a beautiful car. I also have a 91TA. I have been looking for the same style induction. Can this be purchased any more. I cannot remember if this is called the Miniram and who made it. I have a 383 that I would like to use, but the standard TPI will not push enough air. DL
