I've seen kids in these shops that could barley tie their shoes, much less do quality work. This is why I do my own. This thread could have been posted in a much more civil manner than telling people their dumb and to STFU. It just shows the immaturity of the OP in my eyes.
Sure I am young and everything, but when I come to this section and see that 7 out of 10 post are "predict what my setup will make" , it gets old if you have a proven badass combo or want to talk about comparing numbers then do so that is what this place is for. It is not to guess how much power your bolt-on car will make. I never called anyone DUMB, you need to read through the thread agian. And when I tell people to through up some numbers or STFU, I am meaning use this forum how it should be it is not a "come predict my dyno numbers section". I don't need anyone to stick up for me, I started this post and would definently do it agian. This post is civil, if anyone thinks otherwise than they shouldn't take things so harshly. I would just like to see more USEFUL information here and less BS.

It is the internet, home of 1,000,000 opinions. crazykid's & others' opinion is that there should be no "what should my car dyno" threads. My opinion is who cares, dont care, dont read, dont post!! But then again, thats an opinion in it's own and holds no weight, just like a prediction.

Wasteful threads like predictions take up more bandwidth here which is part of the reason this site is so slow. Less BS threads= faster site. Prediction threads should be deleted just like the "what if" threads in the street racing forum. Thats just my opinion.

Maybe if we delete all the prediction/benchracing threads then the search will work better.

Well, if they deleted BS threads, this one wouldnt exist, your post count would be down(so would mine) and I wouldnt have my dyno predictions

I am really not trying to be a dick. That is why I started my own thread and didn't bust up in someones thread. Maybe people will read this and think before they make a post on predicting what there lid only car will make. Another thing that would help the situation would be if people would use that awesome SEARCH option we have so kindly been given here. In most cases someone has already done what you are doing.

Dyno racing in gay....I never take my car to a dyno, I go to the track. The only real way if figure out a car's true power is to take it down the track... MPH = horsepower.... ET= how good u set up the suspension, ect..

REMEMBER:
DYNO'S DON'T GO DOWN THE TRACK, CAR'S DO.....
