May want to get a better Tuner, sounds like that engine has a miss, hear the clicking?

I kid, sounds nasty. If it runs half as good as it sounds will be even nastier.!

I'd just run around all day with a rev limiter set high enough to hear the blower whining without getting drowned out by the exhaust.

Driving video will be coming Sunday morning (but don't expect anything too spectacular beyond a couple of short bursts of awesome.

When I'm driving, it whines more than an ex-wife looking for an increase in alimony payments.

No numbers yet. We tried putting it on the dyno right after we installed it (and before doing any tuning on the carbs, and it smoked the tires. The only reading we have right now is 450 lbft of torque at 2000 RPM (the beginning of the run attempt). I've been tuning on the carbs and put drag radials on it for traction, so one of these days, I'll take it back and put it on the dyno again.

Side Note #1: Took the car for its annual safety inspection, and on the receipt, the description of the car was, "2012 SHELBY GT-500". There is nothing on the car that says "Shelby". I kinda chuckled when I noticed it.

Side Note #2: I'm currently working on a hood. The hole is cut, all I gotta do is clean up the edges and take it to be painted.
