In all seriousness though, bolton scientology is really more subjective than it is anything else. In fact, after you take into account what exactly it is that is increasing horsepower in any one area, and then factor in the cost effectiveness of the modification in regards to the availability and/or effectiveness [if that is one of the predetermined priorities of the project], there can be endless debate about the usefullness of an arbritrary project component or what if any component by itself will change the performance in a particular combination. Keep in mind area under the curve is what matters, as was stated in the sticky if I'm not mistaken accidentally.

Anyway, I digress. If you would like to see more information about my paricular bolton combination feel free to navigate to this thread located here:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/dynamometer-results-comparisons/485371-what-s-wrong-these-numbers.html
where you will see my dyno graphs and my hypothesis on why I'm definately making or not making the appropriately anticipated power numbers.

That's a great question. I'd say about the same; if you think not, it isn't a question of if, but when anymore.

Am I right? Now I have to reconvene because I think I just blew my own mind! Once again!

Anyone reminded of the Architect from The Matrix?

I know what you mean, in fact, the combination of boltons is somewhat of an art, with regards to combining the appropriate components to fullfil the plan. However the big picture remains without boltons you just have bolt lol just kidding.

Well, actually, I'll be running a cam before long tubes--not sure which but hopefully a good one--for a cam-only CA emissions vehicle; in other words LT's when they come should be that much more beneficial.

If you remove all of the variables with regards to boltons, and now I'm saying all of the variables with hp potential--a custom plan for each particular situation technically speaking--what remains is usually the right thing to do alternatively.

Besides the characteristic of linear increases in performance, what it is really is an appropriate gain of combinatorics.

When someone has something other than quatum physics, start a new thread.

This area is for actual fact based tech.
