I would tend to agree but almost seems like it's getting restricted at the higher end ... or is that all tuning? From AFs seems like some power to be found there
Also are there long and short runners on the intake manifold and are you switching them? I found that can make a big difference on the top end if you switch over.

So much for the so called nay sayers who thought your motor would implode after 600whp.

There is definitely 40-50whp there just in the air/fuel and who knows what the timing is. They could start adding timing up top and the power keep going up and up.
Is this still at 16psi? Starting to look promising for a sweet ride for Paul.

These were delivered yesterday. They will be going on the car soon. Sorry about the cell phone quality pics. They look much better in person.

The tuning is not finished yet. Stas was just posting up the dyno sheet to show were we are at. It takes a lot of time to get these things dialed in.

For the record, the car made peak power at about 5000rpm not 4000, it made peak torque at around 4000. For all we know there is no timing in the car in the upper rpms yet. Adding timing in those upper rpms can make a big difference along with the big difference that bringing the air/fuel in to the mid 11s will also make.
Just look at the horsepower graph and the air/fuel graph, they both start trending down at 5000rpm, that will change and the horsepower graph will keep going up when the car isn't so rich.

Crazy impressive numbers thus far especially since this car doesn't have headers and the boost levels are relatively low 
I know others have questioned this and I too wonder at what horsepower level will these engines still hold together and what will let go first? Assuming safe A/F ratios.
