I am so jealous that you got to drive it. I can only imagine how fast it is.

That torque gauge is useless once you floor it, I am unsure of what they use to feed that guage. It is supposed to peg at just over 400 ft of torque.

How is the traction, I know it could hold the stock motor pretty well. It would probably do better with an adjustable set of the lower control arms. It is a traditional 4 link with panhard rod.
