You're kidding right? Full supsenion...gutted car...and have stock heads with those numbers. Even you had to know those weren't stock heads with those kind of numbers.
Well, when he stated the guy’s original list of mods, heads weren't mentioned. So, based on the info listed.....yes, we were led to believe it was a stock long block with little more than a carb swap. In which case those horsepower and quarter mile time would have been bunk.
....but now
Did you not think it might have been relevant to mention the fact that he was running a 9.5:1 357ci and not a stock 9.0:1 302ci....or AFR 185's and not stock Iron castings when you initially laid out his list of mods.
Knowing what we do now, 324rwhp/300rwtq and 11-second ET's in a stripped car is actually quite feasible. As a matter of fact, I'm actually inclined to believe he's down a little or the torque side.
Nope, I figured it had stock heads and nothing more than a carb swap and weight reduction (based on what many of us thought was an accurate depiction of Johns initial recount of the car) and the guy who owned it was simply lying about both the power and quarter mile times. The guy sounded like one of those typical BS'er that think a CAI and a "chip" adds 100hp because advertisers claims state as much....and since he had all this horsepower now and he stripped some weight, he was simply guessing how fast it went, without ever having been at the track.You're kidding right?

These guys are a dime a dozen where I'm from. I probably run into half a dozen of them an outing at our local cruise night. They're called bench racers and none of them ever have a clue.
That what i was saying BS to. Is that he claims thats all he makes at the wheels but runs low 11's. I must suck at driving or something? My coupe weighted 2800 and i made the numbers in my sig and only ran a best of 12.4and an average of 12.5-12.6peace

Cant see numbers in your sig, but at 3150 and 256 rwhp I go 12.5 - 12.6...
As stated before autos on a dyno make weird numbers. Was it an MD or Dynojet? An efficient gutted auto with those mods... 11.2s seems so so and the power is irrelivent.
is your car auto or stick? what gears? his numbers were on a MD dyno,as well as mine were to. peace
