Ok, he's mounted it where we would mount it. I said "as far as we know" no one had bult such a car, now we know of one. Where is the car and where does he race it, certainly not at your shootouts?
Since you were helpful, do you know of a XX trim 3/4 gen?
Oh, you like my signature?

Yes and no. Don't forget that there are several YSI trim cars like ours blowing 1600 cfm whereas the X moves 1700. A good cam designer certainly could begin to design an X trim cam off of YSI trim and other blower data.

The part that's different is that I want to create a power curve with a different shape than what is commonly sought.
I'm being a bit cagey about it because:
a) If it works the way I think it will, I want to be the first guy to have done it, and;
b) I don't need a bunch of keyboard commandos tearing up my ideas.

Guido -
The original purpose of this thread was to determine what horsepower neighborhood I can anticipate being in, so that I can plan for what needs to be done in terms of a short block.
Furthermore, if this board is not to be used for discussion, then it's existance is pointless.
Finally, as the person who STARTED the thread, I'M the one who gets to decide if I have received any helpful information. (which I have)
lame, it wasnt anything personal against you.
Personally, I think an LT1 block will hold up just fine. flyin hawaiian drives a built LT1 car thats holding up fine. George Baxter did it with something like 1200hp. There are a few people in the 4 digit HP range that have proven it will hold.
Im willing to bet yours will hold up fine with the proper preparation. Good luck.
Bob, cant wait to see the car! See ya tomorrow, beer in hand.

We've got a fast car that makes a lot of power and we will help you and others if we can.

It's time for you two teenagers to run along home to mommy, or better yet, find a shootout where you can get drunk and tell car stories.
Oh, I changed my signature to prevent punks like the two of you from harassing me.
