I'm pretty sure they are on his website. It's 275hp and 220lbs/ft torque at the wheels IIRC but that was before the intercooler was installed. He is only guy I know of that still has the original clutch and the 1st generation vortec kit installed.

I am almost positive he has the Knuconcept (sp???) design upgraded support coupler.

I had a Vortech'ed 2.5L.
I had the typical issues as everyone else w/ the jackshaft.
And I took a ride in that car. After close to 12 hours of driving, I and other fellow NY CEGER's pulled up at the clarion hotel, so meet several "local" CEG'ers, including mark. We all decided to head out for a bite to eat, and somehow I managed to hitch a ride in marks car. I have to say, it was the fastest I have ever gone in a contour, and probably the fastest I have ever gone.
Mark took us up to speeds faster than 140mph. The other SVT's following us faded away into the distance faster than i've ever seen before, and we managed to burn 1/8th of a tank of gas on that quick little run!!
The power was very linear, noticeable...but not as noticeable as a car with more torque. I was really surprised to see how fast we were actually going when he let off the gas.
The car was also amazingly stable. The faster we went, the more it seemed to hunker down onto the road. I have to say, the moonroof flutterint in the wind was pretty scary though.
Thank you mark, I will never forget that ride. 
You are very welcome, and when the new project is up and running (hopefully by SZ07) I'll be more then willing to give rides in that also.  I promise it will be just as fast as the old car, only with a radically different approach. As for detail on what I'm doing... Move along there's nothing to see here.
Ooo ooo I know i know, 
But then again you know what im planning soo yes Move along!
