Bad. without the NOS its running 500HP to the rear and with 600hp. It's was a 351 stoked to a 406. Ill get more info on the engine and post it today. 2k miles on the engine and 35k on the body. All forged internals. heres a clip along with the pictures. seller put about 25-30k into the car. My wife should be picking it up soon. Cant wait to get back home.

looks like a stock alternator and a FMU... find out if that engine has a stock 5.0 block or not, beware - forged internals or not, a stock 5.0 block won't live long if it puts out anywhere near the rear wheel horsepower numbers claimed. IMHO, a brake system upgrade is necessary - need to have "whoa!" match the "go!".

It's a 351 stoked to a 406.He said it gets about 8 MPG,Glad i got the notch. i asked him what had to be done next on the car and he said the brakes,your right on it. I dont like the 2 tone paint job or the wheels but he will give 5 star chrome pony wheels also. here are some pics of it.

From the pictures and videos, it looks darn good with just a little touch-up here and there. I always did like like the Steeda spoiler. Must be nice to find foxes in Texas with no rust on bottom of doors, fender wells, or on and around the hatch!
