I must have been doing something wrong for the last 15 years. Its far from hard, very far. I thought everyone prescribed to the 'efi makes more power" theory? Im not gonna argue but to say making 350 at the tires is hard and cant be done without a power adder or compression is silly. I see your site in the sig, pushjing nos, it all makes sense now why you think its hard to make 350 at the tire on motor
I never said it was impossible. And I don't prescribe to the "EFI makes more power" theory. But most of these guys weren't even in school 15 years ago. I don't want more experienced people misleading them into thinking they can throw together a nice engine kit, slap on some heads, an intake and their favorite Comp cam and end up with 350rwhp. It takes attention to detail to get to that level which is something a majority of people don't have. Reread the quotes. I never said "hard" but you did say "easy" and "simple". If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.

BTW, I don't push "nos".

all it takes is money ...............

get your valve train up to specs to be able to spin 7,000-8,000 rpm "safely", sure 350rwhp no prob.

still cant imagine what a 302 sounds like at 8,000rpm, lol

All im sayin is making 350 at the tire is no voodoo. One can make that with a thought out combo no problem. No need to turn it more than 6500 either. Its a little over 1hp per inch, not rocket science by any stretch, it comes down to efficieny, its nothing more than a glorified air pump. Now if someone wants to make 500+ at the tire on a 306 motor car, then we would have to sit back and plan. Anyways Im out to the shop
