He is also a bit misinformed of the cid of a 4.8L.
Yeah, maybe 283 just sounds cooler.

Agreed. 4.8s dont usually put down more tq than hp. Maybe he was good friends with the rods and lifters beforehand.

not that I believe any of this bullshit but to his credit I ran similar times with my set-up on street tires because I could not hook at all. i think he has taken random info and pieced it all together and made himself a profile and has used jargen that he has no clue what it means and acts like he does.
