congrats man. As long as she runs strong who cares what the dyno says. I'm sure that thing is/will be a monster. You have multiple limiting factors including the dyno, plus you can do tons of more work to that thing to make more power.
you want to talk about dyno numers being screwy? try having a higher hp auto car lol

The car may make less power but this thing pulls so much harder than last year on e85 now that we got all the issues figured out.

How do you tell how much power a car has by a street race? A street race roll can't really determine power when you take in to account rear gear ratio and transmission gear ratios. A 1000HP car can run out of gear in a street race at 150mph.

I think I mentioned trap speeds too. One moment let me check. Yep I did. Come again.
And yes extremely strong cars can run out of gear too soon. When rednecks start thinking with their mullet this is what happens.

I agree with you for once. I take dyno numbers with a grain of salt. Sure its a nice figure to base off, but around here its all about your trap speed. I pick my street races based off what the other cars trap. Just like the supras out there making 1000 wheel, but only from 7-9k rpms. Still run 11s@ 130mph... not a very good street car. A 1000whp vette is going to be faster than a 1000whp diesel pickup...Sure HP is HP, but its constantly variable on the car/weight/setup/etc..
Keith, get your mullet out of your ***

Lol i guess all the big classes that race nmra and nhra street classes dot know whats up, not everyone is afraid to run digs and have to run 60mph rolls cause they cant build a balanced car. No need to get your panties in a war so easily on the internet, must be one of those kids that spends 15 hours a day playing world of witchraft with a super magician troll eater or something
