Jeff,
I totally agree that this is a VERY nice looking cat with many tasteful mods.
My one comment relates to the carb, which looks to be the same Holley 735cfm carb that I have (the one used on the CobraJet engines of the late '70s). Solid carb, but I doubt it would push the horsepower north of 600.
I would budget around $600 to have that carb re-built and tuned over the next year. I had to and the work provided a noticeable increase in performance.
Best of luck,
EA
