I was just complaining because I hate when companies advertise sh*t and than you put it to the test and it doesnt match up. Thanks CK I didnt know that they claim "with supporting mods" if thats the case than thats absolutly fine but if they didnt have that in there than they shouldnt claim when they came produce....

I dont think anyone is bitched.... I am just venting about companies who make false claims. I do not have a TF kit so I cannot say but from what I hear they are good for what they say. Im only saying that companies who claim numbers that they cannot produce are bullsh*t.... do you not agree?

With that kit and a great suspension setup I think 12s would be in the picture

Theres a guy on here w/ exhaust, 1 or 2 other bolt ons I think, 4.10's, 3200 stall (auto obviously), shift kit and suspension work.

12.8X's....... with only 22X rwhp. Suspension is KEY.

Oh no I agree 88blueGT, Its just most of the advertisments that you see are usually crank HP. Like Trickflow claims that, that kit produces something like 360hp. Well thats probably true and once you throw on AC put a tranny up to it and run it through a rear end your really only looking at somewhere around 300rwhp. Kinda like my engine, the guy claimed it to be a 410hp engine...umm no there is no way im going to lose 110hp through drivetrain...so yeah I was pissed, but now I just need to save for bigger and better things to put on my combo
