Default horsepower claims true?



I was just wondering if anyone has done the edelbrock performer rpm package or performer package to there car or someone you know. Edelbrock says they tested the motor with 9.5:1 compression and a750 cfm carb. What do you all think ? about 330 rwhp or so. I know a lot of horsepower claims are bs but when they come up with graphs I would believe it too be true. If not screw those basterds lol. </P>


</P>

Damn look at that graph, the HP is pulling all the past the edge, when is the "end" of breathing on those heads!!!? That is pretty much what Trickflow package I am looking at is claiming.</P>

to get those number they are under ideal conditions and the engine I'm sure in balance,blue printed,etc....I would use them as a guide only and expecte 10-15% less hp to be realistic

that graph does kinda look messed up. usually the hp drops before red-line. maybe they just arent showing the whole graph. </P>
