What do you guys think about these Hp #er's??

[Must5a0angGt86]

I had a guy that I met a cruise last night tell me he had 511 hp + 537 ft/lbs going to the rear wheels. Here is his setup.

Stock 302 block w/girdle, forged frpp crank + rods, forged pistons (he bought that rebuild kit from summit) box stock edelbrock heads, holley systemax intake, 75mm tb, procharger 6psi. He is still running a stock t-5 and stock rear with frpp 3.73's. And some computer chip, i can't remember the name. These numbers just seemed a little inflated to me for what he had. I sorta called him out on it in the nicest possible way, i guess I would just have to see the dyno sheet for myself. So what do you guys think about it?

maybe with a 100 shot

 

[Must5a0angGt86]

yeah, he didn't have anything else other than the 6psi procharger. I'm not sure why you would lie about hp numbers with that setup. The car's got to be putting decent numbers to the pavement, at least I would think so. He said that he raced it at the track on a regular basis with MT et streets. I would think with all that power on a sticky track it would spin the axles right out of the housing at some point, lol.

6 psi, 302 cubes, and untouched performer heads...
seems high, maybe he's talking desktop dyno?
friend has ported/bowled performers, 8-9psi F cam systemax and 331 cubes and is not making those numbers.

Your in CT, do you happen to know his name, or what the car looks like... I used to know a LOT of Mustang owners around here and might have known him. Also if he goes to the track he should have times and that helps to let you know the power its making.

 

[Must5a0angGt86]

you know what, I didn't even get his name. I know its a 94 though. I also didn't even bother asking him about any times b/c I was too caught up on the whole horse power number, lol. When I come across things like that, I never start an argument I just smile and nod and walk away politely, lol. I just thought some people in here might get a kick out of that.

He should be with that setup. I bet this guy has closer to 400 at the wheels with that combo. Whats the compr. with the summit kit? Anyone know?

 

[ARMAGEDON]

Are you sure he didn't say 16psi? If 6psi is correct. Then ***NO*** his combo cannot yield that kind of power.

460hp/470tq at the wheels, running rather rich... will probably make over 500 once dyno tuned/chiped

 

[Must5a0angGt86]

nope I am quite positive he said 6 pounds, lol. I actually had him repeat himself again hahaha. There always seems to be a few of us 5.0 guys that seem to be dreaming when it comes to telling people how much power they make. I am looking forward to seeing what my car can do at the track when it is finished. I am very anxious to get it done, i couldn't really even venture a guess as to what it will do 1/4 mile wise. I hope it doesn't dissapoint!

I think maybe he has his rear wheel confused with his flywheel?!?!!
