Other than his poor spelling and grammar he looks legit. I searched his pb account and he has way too many pictures and video to be a phoney, lol. Besides I don't think 500hp is too unbelievable for a 4.8 with a maggy and a 75 shot at all.

I don't doubt his numbers with the right mods. I just get annoyed by the posted numbers without all the mod info.

For those who are wondering why we doubted 500hp is because his list of mods origianally given to us had a cam as the biggest mod, he seamed to have left out the maggie!! if its blown i beleive the numbers... still seems odd though!

He might be a high level math major, dyno'd about 380 hp, then figured about 25+% drive train loss and rounded up to an enven 10 hp. Then uses that figure and everyone assumes he means rwhp, that's why he cannot show a dyno sheet. That should be very attainable with what he has...especially on a non load bearing dyno!

I have asked for a dyno graph, nothing. He states the horsepower is to the rear wheels.

Thats why I called BS in the first place, he left off the charger in his post. I had to go in and check out his photobucket to later realize thats where his power is coming from. Like I said, I have talked with him thru PMs and he generally seems like a good guy. I will cut him some slack now that I know where his power comes from, but until I see a graph, I wont believe the numbers are to the rear wheels, crank power yes, but rwhp no.
