Dyno Results
i think you're putting words in my mouth which i never said. i never stated MPH wasn't a tell tale sign of HP, but again it can vary with driver and it really varies with track conditions. I used to trap 104-106 at NTR while I consitently trapped 107-108 at Norwalk just a couple hours away.
PS...HP is a function of TQ, meaning HP is calculated from a measured TQ at a measured RPM. With a car's known weight, gear ratios, coefficient of drag, altitude and rolling resistance, it is possible to closely "judge" what a cars ET and MPH should be. There are online calculators with these functions built in. Now you've seen somebody judge ET by torque output.

The simple fact of the matter is the output from this setup seems high as everyone has mentioned and it is either from an inaccurate dyno or this car responds well to what has been done. MPH will be a good indicator as to which one, or maybe both are true. Hopefully we'll find out soon enough.
BTW, does NAPA really do valve jobs? I may utilize that on an old set of heads I have for our truck if its true.

That's why it was in question form. Wasn't sure since the person you were directing it to was not addressed in your post.
