With the mechanical work wrapped up, John strapped her down to the rollers for Vlad to perform a custom calibration via HP Tuners. With the Whipple 2.9L delivering ~12psi, Vlad increased the 392's output to a repeatable 672.71whp & 588.43lbft! With the boost set to such a conservative level, there is plenty more jam in the jar when Richard is ready!
