Re: turbo or supercharger

500 RWHP is a level that VERY few people have achieved naturally aspirated.There are only a handfull that have done it, and those people were some of the best engine builders around. I'm not saying you can't do it, but you must understand the skepticism from everyone when you're saying you've done what so many others have not been able to do, especially if you haven't had it on a dyno yet.

Re: turbo or supercharger

when i first got my car i put it on a dyno at a friends shop and it had 387 hp and if i remember correctly a lil over 400 torque.and a really good tune.i dont know what the guy i bought it from did to the engine but im not complaining.he didnt even know what all was done.he said the guy who had it before him was working on it for 2 years straight before selling it to him.then i bought it.since ive had it i put a lt4 hot cam kit in it and sent my pcm out and havent had the time to have it dyno/tuned yet.and cant wait till i do.and its way faster with the new cam.so either the cam it cam with was stock or the lt4 cam was better than the custome one they had in there.either way it halls *** and i have some very good kills.im really mad that i cant figure out whats is exactlly done to it cuz i dont wanna buy a new set up and then laiter find out the **** i just bought was already on there.but theres only one way to find out and thats tearing it apart

It's true, that if you do really heavy work with your hands, you can lose the fine motor control necessary for typing and other manual dexterity related work. After 25 years of wrenching and lifting weights, my hands barely work well enough to type, and I have had to give up brain surgery all together, because I have had too many instances of leaving jaggedly cuts all through the wrong part of the brain of the patient that I was working on. But, even if you have clubs for hands and sausages for fingers, that shouldn't affect your grammar and sentence structure to the point that your written message is unintelligible.

If you have 387/400, then you have a stroker motor with more than a hot cam. Otherwise your friends shop needs to check their dyno because its 100hp too high.

Hotcam, ported stock heads, all bolt ons and a good tune is lucky to see 340 rwhp.
