Welcome David. You are going to have to post up some pics, together with the modifications specs, that got you up to 640bhp out of a 4.0l.

Thanks for all the coments! have several cellphone pics as soon as my fabracator tells me wich ones i can publish ill get them out, the car is currently on my hoist with no springs or brakes just tore it down fri after several top end runs down 75 weve decided a brake upgrade is MANDITORY!

Here is a run down of what we've done to reach those numbers! taken a low milage block with the stock crank, custom Rods and Diamond pistons, cyl heads and cam shafts have been slightly massaged by a well none local engine builder, removed the stock intake and intercoolers and built a custom sheetmetal intake using a ford cobra throttle body, twin 76mm turbos and an external heat exchanger, using twim GT500l eletric fuel pumps and all controled by an Big Stuff 3 control box this system has the capicity to creat 24lbs of boost but the stock block has us a little nervous so all pulls were dun at 11bls of boost or less! AF maintained a constant 12.5 Our goal is to get it to live on 93 octane or hopefully natural gas.
