Mike probably wouldn't care if the dyno sheet said 900 hp, as long as the car ran the number he was looking for.

... I disagree John, I personally think that cars like Jeff's, Mike's, Shawn's, Bailey's, Fulton's etc (amoung others) are all excellent performers and show what hard work and determination can achieve, great job to all those types of combo's running at that high level, whether they make 1,000hp or slightly less, really doesn't matter to me ...

my post in boosted 451
LOL! that will not be a problem George I can guarantee that too. be careful what you wish for.....I may just do it. If i can make 1000 na what makes you think i would fail at adding more power with a compressor? these are the posts we are referring to. You might have your buddy john agreeing with you but there likely no one in the know that would think that besides you.

I'm done, you are choosing to be this way regardless how it makes you look.

LOL! your bestest kre bloodbrother/friends calculator also shows that you only make 90 more with a big azz blower, 2 dominators, on methanol......

Nowhere there did i say i made that on the pump...I've been more transparent in when I dyno and what I made than probably anyone posting in this section. I always post when I am going to go and sheets after.....If I failed i could not hide it because posted that I was going before the results. Prolly safer to dyno first then only post if its real good but I don't much care what some dork thinks of me. And there have been people that helped me learn so i try and help....I know its lost on you because you can't understand what it means... but there have been several that have pm'd questions and shared info back and forth, even a cv guy or two.

I agree with your second post too.

My point was, ET is what matters the most.
The dyno is a tool to check progress, to help select shift points and converters with.

I've seen many (chassis) dyno queens come to the track and get embarrassed by cars with less power @ the same weight.

But I really wasn't trying to start a debate.
