Up at the meet/greet in Michigan this year, someone had a 4.0 with 'some' work done to it.
It was the one with the 242 (some c.i. number, i dont remember) sticking through on teh shaker, and it was black.
THAT CAR WAS ONE OF THE MEANEST I"VE EVER HEARD...4 cyl, v6, v8, v10, v12, whatever....
it was AWESOME, and the fact that I KNEW it was a 4.0 made it even cooler
(moving on now)
My car is taken for a v6 probably MORE often than a GT.

Funny, b/c I remember taking mine out when I deleted the AC from my Sixer. Oh well, I must be a newbie who removed something else by mistake.
Humor me, but since when does a m112 flow anywhere near enough to make 600rwhp on a v6, when the same blower, on a pretty effecient v8, is only capable of 500-550?
Edit: remember, even on the GT500, which is a 5.4L 4V, ~550rwhp-600rwhp seems to be the limit with the stock blower. so how on earth are you squeezing more power out of the same exact blower. that doesn't make sense.

Neuharth runs 9's on six hundred plus. Gary's makes even more with his set up.
Both are running similar short blocks to me.
Anyone who has 800 and can't run 10's needs to hand over the keys or learn to drive.
Who said what I was bringing was only the ported M112 set up in the sig? I have not posted what I'm currently running.
Who has 800rwhp from a six?

Sixers can move just as much air as the 4V when built right. (Shh, it's a secret.)

I don't care how much air the V6 can flow. Airflow doesn't equal horsepower, there are alot of variables. The same airflow on a v6 that a stock 4V will flow will equal less power. I would sure hope that an OHV engine can flow as much as a modular, airflow isn't in question here.
The only thing I'm saying is that the M112 doesn't flow enough to equal 600rwhp on a 4V 4.6L, what makes you think it would do that on a v6?
Oh, and good luck running nitrous on a road course.

Air flow doesn't mean hp? yes and no, pretty sure it's the biggest restricting factor along with fuel supply.
Again, when did I say I was bring a 600 hp M112'd V6 to race you?
And did you bend over far to pull a Nitrous assumption out of where ever you got it from? Was it sparked by the member who thinks it's OK to put Cobra badges on his GT and that it's the same as an SVT product then?
Although I must say props on digging up info on my old set ups. It at least shows you are starting to be aware and think I might have something to back my mouth up. I'm not usually this much of a *****, I just stand up for the little guys now and then.... and I hope to shake your hand when it's all said and done.
