You might want to do some more reading up on the these things before you start throwing up the BS flag. Like mentioned, with enough money anything can be made fast. Granted it's not most our cups of tea, but it is what it is. He might have spent 50k to our 15k to run what he runs, but the end result is the same no matter what. I give the guy props for doing it. When you achieve that much from very little it's cool.

With enough money and a shop to do the right work its not BS. Jesus I dont understand why some people cant respect a well built car. I love the LSx platform and wouldnt have it any other way, but I respect a well built car. You think they just magically changed the dyno to make it read some crazy high number? With 27 psi of boost that number is very obtainable.
I fully believe it has 700+ horsepower, and with a 4 cyl thats pretty damn amazing. It's pretty cool too.
Besides I have a deep personal hate for 4 cylinders, thats 1 step up from a lawn mower.

Now when I say BS I don't mean they lied, I just mean why do so much crazy work on a car that doesn't have nearly the potential of a V8.

Like I said, I too have V8 roots and am especially drawn to Vettes, but I think his car is pretty damn slick. Like a go-cart on steroids!! LOL

I'd hate to have a crash in that thing.
As long as it floats their boat, that's what really matters.
hah

Does anyone have a set for sell or would loan for two passes? Would like around a 26 or 27 inch tire. I will be making one pass to see how she acts and one race pass then it will be time to take the nitrous off until everything is ready to go together.

i am not calling bs on anything. you can do whatever you want if your pockets are deep enough. I respect a well built car any day. I had my *** handed to me a long time ago by a turbo rsx when I only had a lid. he didn't catch up till about 140mph though lol. its just crazy to me to spend that kinda money on a car to make it do what ours do in a 1/4. but its all in what you want I guess. I would like to see it make some track runs. that much power in a small car like that is cool to watch

While yes, 700whp is awsome for what it is, and I respect it for what it is but, it will not ever be in the same league as a LS/LT/SBC/SBF that makes the same whp for one reason. TORQUE, Tq, makes em move. My opinion, A 500rwhp V8 car weighing close to the same will win at the track by a big margin
. Now I'm not knocking it because it is a bad *** car and it takes a ton of $$ and skill to build one like that. but like Coleman said, "Facts are facts" And I don't think he wants any of a Busa from a dig or a roll at any speed.

Note how there is no smiley with his foot just sitting on the gas. Oh, wait, there is!!!

I know for a fact that he dont want any of my busa from a roll. My busa is STOCK, no sprockets, filter, lowering etc. The only mods is HID headlights, Piazzo levers and a undertail. Im not knocking the guys car, I dont even know him. I bet he has an *** load of $$$$ in it and no telling how many hours of headaches and trail and error of parts. My hats off to the guy for his car and I hope he enjoys it. I wish my car was 700hp.
