GTO George
So you came to that conclusion over the fact that the rings came out in the mid 90s?

If what I read is correct that's when Marty stared to mess with them.

I'm not splitting hairs at all...Just admit that you just threw a number out there, right off the top of your head.

Nooooooo i read the thread and remembered that number but i had to reread it just to make sure. I don't lie or make things up.......yes i can get a number wrong once in a while (I'm human) or sometimes i just hate making LONGGG post so i try to shorten them up.

So when did you read that 1600 number? And, where did you read it at?

It’s a Marty thing, everyone always says his engine made around 1,600 hp…..sooooo. Has anyone besides Marty used them in a high hp application in drag racing? So that’s the only number I came up with, do you know of any?

I talked to Marty a long time ago about buying some but if I recall all he had was smaller bore sizes, nothing I could use. If I recall correctly it was a long time ago.

At this point, i'm more worried about the information you have typed on here...You talk about being honest and not spreading BS...

If Marty ran a GRP aluminum rod in his engine, do you suddenly ASSume(and spread that info around) that the rods are only capable of 1600hp?
