on the dyno that motor just didnt sound right. but i wrang the shit out of it to something like 350rwhp.
Sounds just like Mike. He likes to RE-tune cars, and has an unbelieveably accurate butt dyno, too. He's now apparently bought into SFP's BS, and has sent a large chunk of money (amazing, eh) down there, along with his car. His car is still sitting there, and has not run since.
This is what a Greddy T67 with proper camshaft alignment (degreeing the cams) and a free flowing intake manifold SHOULD do at 21 psi, and not pop a damn head gasket (belongs to a customer of mine):
This car is still terrorizing the local street racers in New Jersey. No head gasket problems. He got 28mpg on the drive back, too.
