Weren't you the guy with a 2.8 or 3.0 stroker claiming 230rwhp??

[Rob]

Its cool to see that tirerack sponsored you! oh wait................

[Bokes]

153rwhp. Last I remember reading.

Looks like it might be a clean car. I'm sure the $5 digital camera pictures don't do it justice.

ouch :( I guess that's what you get for thinking you could build a powerful NA m20 *cough*Ted*cough*

i tihnk that was everything. Some parts were on our donar car so I dont know who they were made by. Example the Diff cover.

On the Dyno it did read low, but I think we sorted out a few problems. It seems to loosened up a bit now. We found out later that my driveshaft was just well. done. And weve been having problems with the Flex Disc and shearing bolts.

I bet most people could have build 3 stroker engines for the money you spent on building up the head on your stock block. :P

[Ball325]

acutally the head was already built in our donor car and then when we had it all checked out and fitted with the new cam and such VAC never billed us, so actually the rebuild was like 2500$ for the paint that was it.

Interesting story. You are great at making up yarns.

So is the dyno broken again in this one? Or too old to read your number correctly?
