here's some proof a reverse split makes good power

It's a reverse split at 230/228 .612/.588 110-1 that was designed for a cam only car. Well like everyone else, after the cam I wanted more. So I added heads and a Fast 90 setup knowing that I might have to change the cam later to get the full result for the heads.

The heads were Cartek 4x that had been milled to a 59cc chamber. So I did have to flycut my pistons. But after my results, I don't think I will be changing the cam. This setup pulls all the way to the rev limiter, and even looked like it would keep pulling past that if we would have let it.

On to the results..

Here were the cam only results with a LS6 and full bolt-ons.



After Cartek 4x Heads and a Fast 90 setup.

If you are talking about the cartek 4x setup then yes! 427 ft lbs is crazy from a 346.
