I don't think it would be 15g's. Maybe 10 tops.
3500 for the shortblock
3000 for the heads
1000 for the cams
500 for the intake
Some misc crap I'm forgetting.
But then again I don't care what it puts down on the rollers. I care what ET it puts down. Don't need a lot of hp to go fast.

and i think alot of the stuff was custom and also like they said with a DOHC you have 4 cams to degree and the tech on the show said it took him about 4-5 hours to degree the cams after install. so you are also looking at some major labor charges ( or the less experienced motor guys would be at least, not sure about you but i dont have all the necesary's for that kinda stuff.
very true my friend very true, what you cant put to the ground doesnt count for sh*t, its all about what that timer at the end of the 1/4 or 1/8th says and which lane is victorious, not HP numbers.

My issue is the RPMs hang around 1,200rpms @ part throttle and when I come to a stop they will drop to idle but sometimes it will stall. The car revs fine all the way to 7500rpms. (haven't taken it past that)
...To the o.p., there's supposed to be a shop somewhere in Pearl that will let u make some dyno pulls on. I think it's like $100 for 3 pulls...may want to check into it...U ever run at Byram?I'mma gonna search this HPTV mod motor..and see what I can find.
