High horsepower and a cold ground don't mix. How many miles on it?

my77stang, i think i can make more than enough power in a small block configuration.

stanks346, ya they dont mix. the car has 137,xxx the engine had 34xx with around 24xx miles being under boost from my f1. I ran the engine N/A for 1k miles to break it in before i put the screws to it.

i have no doubt, and you proved it. but you cannot deny the same level of power adders on a with 100 extra cubic inches would net you substantially more HP and Torque[8D]

I am just curious why you used those I beam connecting rods with that much power? I would be scared of breaking it half-throttling it.

my77 is right to a point more cubes will always make more power with the right amount of air to feed it.

although you would pretty much buy new everything
