Nice! What is the engine specs? 
Started with raw KB block now it's a 4.5x4.5 572 , heads are based from a -13 but 100% done by Goodwin. Valve train designed and built by Todd, sheet metal manifold (again Goodwins design), and (2) 1050 HP carbs.
I run a 727 and footbrake, launch at 3000 and shift at 8000/8300 
Wow, you shift that high. What' the cam spec??.
This might be my favorite car on this forum. Sweet.  What's the cam spec

Thank you very much! I greatly appreciate it. It's taken us 7 years to get to this point.
Wish I could tell you the specs, Goodwin doesn't give out much info. I can tell you it's 50mm plus diameter with roller bearings. I asked the question when I was watching them assemble it and his reply was "it's not much". I got similar responses when I inquired about compression, valve size, head flow, etc.
I can tell you Todd's service and support is nothing like I ever experienced. He makes himself available 24/7. So I guess with that support I never minded what makes it tick.

Gorgeous car for sure.
A bit off topic, but it would bug me if the person doing work for me wouldn't give me specs/#s.
I understand and felt the same way when I first started working with Todd.
As we got to know each other that completely went away. I’m still curious but in the grand scheme of things I’m happy so it really doesn’t matter.
I’ve gotten to like keeping it simple, change the oil, filter, and check spring pressures and set the valves every so many weekends.
Here is one of his 642 hemi’ s I witnessed this spring on the dyno making 1650+ hp. His shop is like a candy store….

That is a sweet ride for sure!! I had a '64 Polara for 13 years and did some mods to it (mild 440, beefed 727, cut down truck Dana 60, Disc brakes, etc. etc.) but was budget limited and did not want to cut the car up to race it, even though that is my first love. I sold it in 2010 to a gentlemen from Chicago and I think it is still in that area. In my new shop, I could have rolled it into the back, covered it up and saved up the money to do such a serious build. Instead I am building the Ramcharger and I have no problem cutting on it
