Me either, the numbers just dont impress me for what thoes heads cost. Dollar for dollar if you want to go with an aftermarket head its looking like AFR and TEA are the ones to go with.

That isn't impressive at all!! Especially for a top secret cam that makes such huge numbers that they can't tell anyone.

Yes they do dyno lower.

My H/C A4 vette dyno'd a whopping 343 hp. Sounds horrible, but it ran 11.86 @ 116, which i was very happy with.

And with a 100 shot ran a 7 sec 1/8th at 100 mph (leaving from idle with a 2.1 60')

Yeah, but once an f-body gets a rear end its about the same.

Thats great and all but I noticed a lot of the cars that put out the big dyno numbers are six speeds with factory 10 bolts, not 9 inches or 12 bolts. So say this was an F-car with a 10 bolt, it still puts it making near what, maybe 450rwhp once you you factor the given the loss from that Vettes drivetrain. Since Vettes dyno what F-cars with after market rears dyno. Thats a lot of power from a stock short block, if that ls2 intake yields better results, all the more power. At any rate, thats all dyno racing, whats it run and trap are better indications. A car set up right can do a helluva lot with that much power.

Its also a mustang dyno. On a dynojet it probably would have been 450-460rwhp or so. Still not real impressed. I bought a set of PRC LS6 stage 2.5 heads off a 2002 Z06 vette with a fast 90/90 and a GX3 cam. He was making 468rwhp on a dynojet with the cheaper PRC heads... I think he was switching to the new Trick Flow heads.

I was talking more about how he said the fast loses power.
