Boy I forgot how great that looked.
Tom, Congrats again. You're probably at the limit, but like you said, that much power comes full pull in 4th, and I doubt you'll see that...often

Thanks Tom2 for the pics, I'm sure they'll serve as good reference pics for my installer.

OK... here are the results:
First Pull: Only some minor tweaking to the tune:
434.8 RWHP, 464.1 RWTQ, 6.9 psi, 11.7 - 11.8 A/F Ratio
Second Pull: One turn on the Boost Controller & some fuel added between 3500 and 4000 RPM to soften the rise in the A/F ratio:
475.2 RWHP, 505.6 RWTQ, 10.0 psi, 11.7-11.8 A/F Ratio

But like everyone else says, just be careful. I'm sure you will though.
Congrats on the D-Specs Luis, Leo, Bill... The install party should be a blast.

Hey man, congrats again! Now I could shy away but I feel compelled to say I think that you're fooling yourself a tad- you're right, it's all in the tune up to around 450-470 rwhp but over that, the tune has nothing to do with how much physical stress the lower end of the factory shortblock can take. One thing I've noticed alot about these engines is that it's not so much the HP that kills them, but it's the torque. Just becareful and use common sense- (I know you will, other members here- maybe not) and hopefully she'll last you a long time.
Just have to figure out if I'm going to display rear wheel numbers... or engine numbers like the factory. 560/595 does have a nice ring to it compared to 475/505!

One more question, with the Saleen does the power pull from low RPM's all the way thru the RPM range or does it come on after 3K or 4K? Seems like I remember the Saleen comes on right from the git go.
Looks good Tom, really, really good.
