    I got that e-mail too. Maybe I missed it, but I'm surprised Steve hasn't posted this on lxforums.

    As amazing as that is, I would wait to see final results when they can keep the tires and dyno drums in sync.

    That number could very well be a spike due to blowing the tires off on the dyno...

    Just seems a little out of the norm on 8psi and stock block. IMO

    If not. OMFG and congrats.

    and yes, I too received the same email. lol From both 300c and Charger forumZ. remember, with a "Z". haha

    He posted something there. NO details, lol. But he announced it. Steve and I talked in chat, and he mentioned that its 8psi on stock internals, and he WILL post the dyno.... we hope.

    Same here, 2 emails from the "Z". Blah, lol.

    Each PSI of boost = approx 25 BHP. Typical gains at 7 psi are about 140 rwhp, this comes from centrifugal superchargers. A stock 5.7 unmodded makes approx 280 rwhp, + lets give the benefit of the doubt 25 rwhp per 1 psi = 200 rwhp that's a total of 480 rwhp. They say 686rwhp.........BS. Sorry it's simple , math. Nice try though.

    Pissing match with Lee broke out.

    Then I got into it with Lee again today.

    Bottom line (IMO) - if you make bold ass claims, you better be able to back it up.

    Surprising inability to post a dyno chart, even after claiming they had a chart with a good run on it.

    If it looks like....., and smells like...., it probably is.
    Today's thread isn't locked if you're interested.

    talk about blowing smoke/bullshit. i didnt know they were like that, even mentioning changing dyno headers is reason enough to not believe a number they claim.


    :blowup:

    The more they post, the more business they lose. If they where smart they would be building a machine to compete at "Mopar at the strip". Bring it or shut the hell up.
