...**** just broke loose didn't it? I was kind of expecting a higher mph or at least a faster mph ramp but it appears it broke loose pretty quick.
. He's lucky it didn't blow up!

OH I know, but it is interesting nevertheless. Maxing injectors out isn't a hp rater either but still definitely duly noted.
When I (er...others for me) did my first build. We took the 5.3L 20 thousands over and put JE custom supercharger pitons in it and had a final cr of about 9:1. had a 224/228 cam and I swear to this day that thing had better power than my current setup. I only had 5000 miles on it and was rolling down an on ramp at about 10 mph and just floored it. Blew that aluminum stock driveshaft in half. No highspeed shaft break, just a dead hook and power break (woo hoo caltracs I guess). I also lost a throw out bearing that day and that motor rusted as it sits, brings tears to my eyes.
