That, exhaust and a tune is bottom 10's in a light car with decent suspension. There are stock head, N/A, pump gas cathedral port engines out there running 9's at somewhere around 2600 lbs.

I love how clean both those swaps look. I picked everything up yesterday. Here's my donor vehicle:

I wouldn't do turbos. I would do a clean Eaton style supercharger. Much more usable power.

Agreed - my 2010 Camaro has a TVS2300 on it and makes over 600 at the rear wheels with ease.
