So... are the "tuners" in the shop on the next block going to let you use their chassis dyno?
Try some different total timing settings. 26, 28, 30, 32 degrees... see what it likes. ( have the fuel mix you plan to run)

Limit RPMs to 5500 or so, don't blow it up with over reving. (tuners will want to rev it high.)

If You have that Much RWHP With Your car Being as light as it is you should be deep into the 14's or high 13's..

Based off my cars Times, Weight, and RWHP.

My best is a 14:72 With 184.5 RWHP weighing 3380#..

It will be interesting to see what the car runs!

Good Luck,

Greg
