Eric -you said it best the other day, you cant beleive all you read in mags. The dummys dont realize that most of those guys get parts thrown at them to test.

Yes,I did say that.

Well it is slow in the shop so I thought I would check out the other Ford forum.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.
They have someone on there that has a stock 5.0 block,stock cast crank,now they have a hdy. roller cam and they are turning the engine to 8,500 rpm's,yes I said hyd. roller making 600 hp on pump gas with out a blower nitrous etc. and the car is running 10.2's.
What bothers me the most is everyone eats this up with a spoon and pats each other on the back.
Have people gotten that stupid or do they believe everthing they read?
WHY, WHY,!!
Yes,I have heard of bench racing but give me a break.
I always lie the other way.
In other words if I have a 496 I will tell people I have a 396.

As you're aware, in bench racing the first liar doesn't stand a chance!!

We've (okay, probably more me than anyone else) ranted on here before about people quoting hp or other performance perceptions based on use of the Levi's dyno. Pure b.s., but sometimes entertaining if you take it with a grain of salt.
