What the hells stuck up your ***?

Thats damn impressive for AFR to develop a cylinder head that makes upwards of 30hp more then the previous head.

Listen too the car rags and you can get like 20hp out of a Granatelli MAF too.

Also that would be more like 460 at the wheels, not saying that is bad just that I think you guys are getting overly workedup by flywheel numbers not understanding what headers that fit a chassis and other intake and exhaust restrictions do even before you talk drivetrain losses. Safe to say the AFR and Spark were more aggressive than would be survivable in a car too.

WannaZ28, do not post if your opinion (and language) is not constructive to this thread. There are better approaches even if you do disagree or doubt the claims.

I tend to agree with what someone said on the Corvette forum. That's a big cam so I'm not really surprised.

Looks to me like the motor was put together to explore the limits of the new AFR head. The results are impressive however there is no comparison between the dyno motor and a street/strip motor.
