Have you ever run across one of those clowns that claims to have
500hp small block under his hood? You know that most of the time they"ve been sniffing too many exhaust fumes and their
delusions are only that. DELUSIONS.

Thats not me talking, Thats the opening paragraph of the
DANGER MOUSE --Part 21 article in May 2004 Super Chevy magazine. If You guys have not been following this it has been going on for about 2 years, Testing all kinds of different heads, roller cams ,intake and carb combinations on a 355 c.i. 4bolt
Motown block.
The Idea here is to build the best motor with 10 to 1 compression so you can run pump gas.
Here is that months build.

Max torque Average torque

Max Horsepower Average Horsepower

508@6200 365 average between 2600 & 6400 rpm.

This is not a cheap motor. It has a lot on expensive parts and it was built by professionals who have a Dyno right there that they can do all the testing and tuning to achieve the very most out of that motor. I dont know about you guys but I dont have a Dyno out back in my garage next to my lawn mower and the weed eater.

Its time for the older guys here, some of you are very knowledgeable (some much more than me) ,to help these young guys , but also to encourage them to have realistic and obtainable goals.

Some people here have been sniffing the fumes Too Long.
And --We have been enableing them to do so.
