That s amazing to see some of the guys making over 500rwhp out of 346ci!! Mine, when i bought it was dynoed/tuned to make 471rwhp/451rwtq with Dart 225 s, Long Tube 1 7/8" Kooks headers,No cats or mufflers, BIG camshaft,F.A.S.T 90 intake,90mm TB, underdrive pulley and a Halltech Stinger CAI. My new 427, recently installed, makes over 550rwhp/510rwtq.(i had to go to a 7.0L for over 500!)

Wasn't sure if he wanted info on dyno queens or track cars.

To me fastest means ET...
Dyno #'s don't equate to the track at all.
There's plenty of cars that run faster with less than 500 RWHP, than ones with 500+ RWHP.
Mine for example ran a best of 10.47, stock LS2, with Cartek's 4X heads & cam package.
Having big dyno #'s means nothing, you have to have the proper DCR & SCR, or in layman's terms, the right mix of components.

big dyno numbers are the results of the right mix of components, so how does big dyno numbers mean nothing? I agree having a big peak number for bragging rights mean nothing though, it's the average HP.

Example:
I once had a set-up that dynoed 472/450 RWHP/TQ & ran 11.25 consistently, same day..
Other guys had 425/400 & were running 10.90, consistently, same day
So I had biger dyno #'s, but when it came down to it, I was much slower than guys who were 50 RWHP LESS than me.
So essentially I don't put much stock into dyno #'s..
I want to see a clean run.. ET wins, not dyno #'s..
