Nice setup bro, but why only at 6k?? Why didn't you spin it to 7??

 

[cobra_strike]

ha lol idk i dont like to rev past 6500 , scares me , i <3 my block lol

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

I'm telling yea bro your block is not going to break. That's the least of your worries trust. Search on here for teksid blocks. They don't break lol.

ok, the bullshit is flying like mad.

your car did not make 612rwhp at 6000rpm with 12 psi. no way, no how.

stock cams and a mild "clean up" port with 8.5cr and 12 psi would give you maybe 535rwhp.

It seems like you just bought this thing, throw it on a dyno and prepare for disappointment.

+1 I have to agree...^^

Yep. :cuss:

Well I think that it is possible. If scotty98 got 578rwhp on 12lbs of boost from an S-trim at 6k I can believe 600rwhp on a T-trim considering it flows more CFM. It looks like the only thing that may be different is the compression of his motor versus the stock compression of Scotty's car. does compression really make that big of a difference?? And some head work is done as well to this guys car..

Check it out. :shrug: but I guess I'll just wait to see the dyno sheet..

It's well known that some dyno's spit out huge numbers, and some dynos spit out low numbers. The equalizer is the track. There's no way a stock cube 4 valve is making 600+ on 12 psi from a t-trim with some light work on the heads on the same dyno I strap my POS down on.

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

Well IDK, I was just saying that Scotty's car did it why can't his?? No doubt that we need to see a dyno sheet but shouldn't we give this guy the benefit of the doubt?? Scottys car doesn't have head work done, doesn't have the fuel system, doesn't have the T-trim. His car put down 578rwhp. Maybe this dyno does spit out rediculous number who knows. I also realize the Scotty has been around a lot longer and this guy could just be tool and lurking but yea just saying..

 

[cobra_strike]

well im running a t-trim with after cooler setup on 110 racefuel? you tell me?

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

Sounds believable to me with a lot of timing and such, can you post the dyno sheet??

 

[cobra_strike]

ill pm it to 98saleen later on tonight , im alittle busy and ihave to find it and upload

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

Well as soon as I get it tonight guys I'll host it and post it up here.

wow i thought someone would beat me to it.

boost is a measure of restriction.

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

^^ yes it is, what do most people think boost is lol??

 

[5.4 speedster]

well he asked how many lbs his block could withstand...
i was just pointing out that there is more to it then the boost number
