If you hooked, and were a bit under stock weight, what are some of the faster times out there with a 60mm / high 400whp in a fbody?

You are correct with the dynos as only tuning tools.
Not banging on you.. only speaking from a few years of experience and alot of time on these boards seeing what peoples builds are capable of.

Jose from ForcedInductions (Sponsor and guru) told me not long ago... "I can make a dyno say any numbers you like, if that is what you are after. But I can also tell you what that turbo can really do"... funny, but I think that statement fits here as well.

I got you there, not trying to pull anything. Car was dynoed on a dynojet at a completely different place then we would normally go to as the customer didnt want to drive to the other one. So yes the correction factor could have been different or higher than the one we normally go too. That may have inflated his numbers but that is what it put down on that particular dyno.

Things are good making more money back here, looking for a home to buy. As well as waiting for my engine to be done. what a mess that is.

so if you do this you know it turns in to alot of "nickle and dime" parts that add up fast my friend. that and i think STS kits are junk and look like hell. i dont think it would work with your bad *** looking car i would save your money for something else. drivetrain parts ie; rearend, trans built lower end. this is just my 2 cents bro just loooking out
