very nice mate! i think those cars look amazing and with the light weight are pretty dam quick!

you might want to take a look/ask some question on here

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/forum.asp?f=20&h=0

I'm going to have to side with NoMoreFWD on this one.Someone was just simply asking if onyone had any experience with Schwanke engines.He just explained the situation he knows a friend had. Just because it was a negative experience doesn't mean he was bashing! Just telling it like it was. Like my buddy Speedo said......we were both there and just wern't impressed with anything that we seen. I honestly wouldn't take my Tricycle there to be worked on?! Now..........let the bashing begin!! Traver

No, I don't have a LSx car. But, I have been working with the LSx engines for the past 5 years.

This may be the guy that told me at Car-Craft that they got well over 500 (like 530 or so)at the tire out of a stock 6.0 shortblock with stock l-92 heads..

Maybe not, I don't know...

Sounds impressive except for the fact that we don't know if it's a A4 or an M6 and also what kind've vehicle it's in,or are these crank numbers?The total drivetrain of the vehicle(if it's Chasis Dyno #"s)will dictate the outcome of all different sorts of scenerios of power. So is it impressive..............or isn't it!? You be the judge............................ Traver

The 529 number is from an asphalt late model running on E-98 with a 4 speed tranny, not the one mentioned earlier.

We now have the abilities to tune with EFI Live since I came back, so anyone is more than welcome to come for a dyno session.

I am the guy you were thinking that went to Katech. If you have anymore questions, give me a call.
