i will leave this alone after this. i was just trying to open some eyes to a myth. the only reasons i state its a myth is because after millions of dollars wasted testing this very subject when i worked for one of the well knowen nascar teams we found nothing that would put us ahead of the other teams. you guys are refering to the 5hp that one setup that happened to make at peak 5hp the avg was .83hp. most the time it was 0 or the power moved 100-200rpms in the curve. i wouldn't bring something up like this without the vast testing and findings. that way i never comment about anything other then engine i haven't a clue spent to many yrs building race engine to know anything esle. after the nascar team i went to work for my uncle and built pro-stock engines. i was just trying to put some light on a myth and that all it is sorry guys but million has proved this. i guess we can agree to disgree know back to some hotrod stuff. what do you think about the nos plate over in the big block post???
