Factory spec or factory produced? Well whatever. And since when does a turbo'd 4-cycl peak at 5500rpm? Thats big block v8 numbers, at that low of rpm. Why did the cameraman start to focus on the dyno computer, then pull away to a piece of paper?
You know I really don't care, if you guys what to beleve everthing you see that's your prob.
Hey how did you know I was a rocket scientist?

Shaun Carlson is using the stock crank, and he doesn't make 800 horsepower. He makes over 1,000. Stock crank, block, and head.
You obviously know very little about forced induction engines.
T Ladies and gentlemen, we have a rocket scientist on our hands!
Oh, all sorts of ways. Exhaust valve timing, overlap, etc.
This can also be accomplished with ignition timing as well as how rich/lean it runs. Or with a different turbo manifold, downpipe, etc.

I thought we were having an intellegent disscusion about the subject, but I see I was wrong. I'm guilty of tring to keep the disscusion on an intellegent level, but I see this is not the place for that. I appologize.

Maybe if you were acting intelligent we could have an intelligent conversation with you!

The block only lasts 15-20 passes at that power level.

Proof, please.
And just what relevance does a tubeframe, fiberglass body, or the weight of it have to do with the power production I mentioned with various stock parts? Nothing.

The owner of the yellow SRT4 has plans to soon try for 600whp but doesnt know how long it will last, if it all. He recently upgraded the tranmission, axles, etc. so he can run stickier tires at the track.

That 5.0 block(if it is still a 5.0) in your mustang wont last long much past 650rwhp(750bhp). An LT1 block wont reliably last long much past 1000rwhp(1150-1200bhp). So your telling me a motor with half the displacement from cheap ole dodge is going to hold together fine past the 1000hp mark?

The burden of proof lies with the one making the claims, not the one disputing them
