Vehicle Specs

3 psi (I've run the 14 psi on pump gas about 700 miles)and 4 degrees of timing (what the race gas is for) will add 70 hp....

about 35-40 for the boost and the rest from timing...

how about a dyno sheet of your 500+ RWHP vehic's?

I have had 4....

your not dealing with some chump ricer or some terd that paid some one to build a car, every bolt on my LX has been turned by me and me alone.


I have built and campained 2 succesful SCCA national winning club racing cars.(and building a third, wiether it'll be a winner we'll see but I sure will try)

have had numerous power adder cars as well as many very fast N/A cars.

this will give you a bit of back ground of where I'm coming from, I'm sure I can learn from many of you guys but I am sure I can contribute my fare share of help and knowledge.

Please, dont try and show me up, we are all here for input and to give input.if you have a problem with somthing I say post a bit more detailed message about why and I will defend my possition or acknowledge it being wrong. I will do the same for you or any one else on the board.

Never said you were a ricer, nor did I ever make any HP claims for any of my vehicles. Without dyno time you can not prove power plain and simple. I think your math is a little off. Thats why I ask for dyno sheets. When I first chalenged your HP numbers you quickly defended them by saying they were CRANK hp. That I can understand but would like to see the dyno sheets. We are all here for input that is correct.

Well yes their is somthing as good as dyno numbers...

track time MPH.

the dyno numbers I have are kinna old it when I was running 124. they are on my webpage.

I have since gained 3 mph good for about 30 hp.(under drives and electric fan)

I have only been able to run with the extra boost in the 1/8 mile where I have run 102 where I normally run 99mph on the 127 mph runs. thats 30-40 more HP.

total of 60 HP gained from the original 500 RWHP dyno.


race gas and timing is somthing I have not tired to much yet in this car but I have real conservative timing (21 total degrees) and have gained upwards of 45 hp with timing advance in a similar car (a 400 RWHP A-trimed car).for a total of 440 from 3 degrees (added to base)and race gas only.

that is my numbers and how I aim to hit 600 RWHP as long as the block holds. then when I'm ready for the 351 I'm gonna spray it with a 35 shot to see how long it takes to split the stock block.
