When does the motor get fired up? Are you going to just drop it in or take it to a dyno?

I?m going to have it dyno tuned before dropping it in. We are trying to get close to 700hp out of it, and still be reliable

Best of Luck! 700 is going to be quite the push. I am going to say 630 or so with the heads the way they are. but i hope im wrong. Where are you going to dyno at?

Good evening, we should be having it ready for dyno this month. We just had the baby last week he came a little early so been up at the hospital for the better part of last 10 days. He is doing great and should be able to come home in a few weeks. But soon as I get some more pictures of the progress I will post them.

This past Sunday was great weather to cut and buff the Mantra. Only thing left to do is put new tach in, hour meter, oil temp gauge and of course the motor.
