If it's down on power or blows up I'll just build another....nothing wrong with tryin.

I just want to see this thing on the dyno already and not to sound like a complete dick but I hope it puts down low numbers. Not because I don't want any of this extra work you are doing to pay off but because I don't want to have any desire in doing any of this extra work on any motor I might build or have built in the future.

I think it interesting but seriously does anyone really want any of this stuff to work. Even if it does make 1000hp at really low boost, just lie and say it makes no power. Think of all the time and money you will be saving people who will want to copy what you did. lol

I gotta be honest here and say that I expected that anyway. The guys who spend that much time doing all this work are the guys who never give straight numbers anyway.

Do you think they typically inflate or deflate the numbers?

Yeah there's tons of garbage to read through but every once and awhile you find good info. I would like to run a 5.99 boost only more so than caring what the dyno says. If not then the nitrous can make up for the last little bit.

That depends if they're trying to sell a product or trying to make money off a race.

Your the one on the stand. Give us an honest answer, if it for some reason is down on power would you tell us? If for some reason is making more than the typical amount of power, would you tell us?

He's already answered that one bro.... I have a feeling the numbers would be fudged to the plus side rather than the other way if it were to happen. I'm still skeptical how much good all this craziness will do. I'm just spectating at this point. But I agree, these are the kinds of builds that just go radio silent once they are running a while because something normally comes apart.

Ultimately I would give a honest answer either way as it's no skin off my back. I may or may not get some ***** and giggles at first though. If it's a turd them so be it but there isn't much I've done that could possibly make it a turd. The cam specs will be play the biggest part and that's a easy switch. 986hp is the most I've read about out of a Whipple 2.9 on any CID LSX.
