i bet that^^^ pic could be used more than any other single post on TRS, but im with dasfinc on this one. I'll eat his other shoe if that thing makes over 500 HP on pump gas, with a calibrated dyno. i've dynoed hundreds of engines and a dyno is only as accurate and true as the guy behind the controls.

Edit

You have a diesel F-250, I'd hope you'd wipe the floor with a mild Z28 if you are chipped and running big boost...

There is no point in defending an optimistically 350hp build that someone claims to make 500. That is the only thing that annoys me, when someone says "My build will make a MILLION horsepower" when it will actually make 40... Power to him otherwise.

I call bs on that unless it's a pos tune and the bad driver mod, I currently own a z28 six speed and have a buddie with a built 7.3 with alot more goodies than yours and I know how that outcome is
