With that type of power through an unlocked converter and th400 you should be going 9.40 to 9.50s in the quarter... right? With 530 RWHP through a 4400 stall and th400 we've gone 9.60s off the foot brake in + DA. We should see 9.30s in good air.

Don't live by the dyno.

People can make 500 HP more than you on the dyno, but if they don't cross the finish line first then what is the point.

Is this the same car/owner that posted the cartek videos? Surely sounds like it.

Why wouldn't it be possible?? There are several setups out there now making over 600 through a fast and the ls7 intake will move much more air than a fast.
Damn, almost right on the money for the RWHP guess.

Thats what I would have guessed. The LS7 intake is holding that engine back.

I guess you have nothing better to do.

There have been many posts to this on other threads and our side of the story has been posted. Mr. Ben Diss here has nothing better to do so he figured he would stir the pot.

Remember Ben, what goes around comes around...

I guess its kinda funny to see how a story unfolds. I have never had any dealings with cartek but have known alot of people and all have been satisfied except for this tool. It comes a time when you find out a tool is a tool no matter who builds their car.

Do a search for Nosboyss on this board. There's an in car video posted as well. He was trapping 132mph at 3350 race weight.

I bought his car after he spun a bearing. Not 14 to 1 and not solid roller.

BTW- the T350 has a lockup switch if it matters

What did I miss here? Looks to me that Phil99vette was the one to drag this 6 month old thread back from the dead. Now I am not saying he did it with any bad intentions so dont misread this. From the outside looking in it does not appear that Ben is the pot stirring culprit but maybe there is some bad blood between you guys already.

LS7 intake can absolutely make over 600 rwhp in a 6 speed.

We make 530 thru a th400, 12 bolt, 4.11s, 6100 stall and stock LS7 intake. 600 all day in a 6 speed.

If you go by post counts only, then you must not know very much with your whole 281 posts!

I'm not saying that this guy was in the right with this situation, he voided his warrenty and is crying about it. I just find your reasoning a little flawed here.
