head gaskets, studs. baby cam. lots of boost and lots of methanol.. got to be 1000 or better, and drives it from CO to CA

why cant people justs get along.. if atomic isnt at 1000 he is pretty close.

I dont have a dyno sheet from my latest upgrades, and havent been to a legitate 1/4 to make a full pass without driving for 3 hours one way. If you want to send me some gas money feel free and ill happily go get you a slip.
Here ya go bud, hp from 1/8th trap Wallace Racing HP Calculator For 1/8th Mile

1/8th isnt valid? Ok lets converter to 1/4 stats: Wallace Racing - 1/8th Stats to 1/4 Stats Calculator
And now lets figure out the power: Calculate HP with HP Correction - Wallace Racing

Now keep in mind these are written for cars, and drag is exponential with speed, so the true power of a truck will be considerably higher than a car that traps the same speed. Crunching some numbers with the conversion, I get 1020hp to the wheels. Which also corresponds very well to the model I made based on when I went to the dyno before a number of significant upgrades. Speaking of which, I put down 720hp on a dyno dynamics while trapping about 101-102 in the 1/8th...I now trap in the 109-110 range. I run more boost, a much better intercooler, better hot pipe setup, bigger cold side pipe, and more aggressive tuning then when I was on the dyno. So 1000rwhp is not unreasonable at all, not that it really matters anyway.

Wont last in a heavy truck? I probably have 100+ track passes on my combination since I put it together and have not had a SINGLE engine problem running 22+psi at times, and my truck is much heavier than your typical rcsb at over 5000 with my tools and stuff I keep with me. Like I said earlier, I have been driving it everyday as my DD for the last couple weeks, so I obviously think its reliable.

Now lets talk about you...you spent $15,000 on a forged LSX setup rated to 2500hp and broke it at 1900hp. If you say the LQ4 blocks wont last over 800 and im making 1000, I believe im perfectly happy at a 120% power level whereas your **** broke at 76% of its rated power level. Because you cant do it correctly, no one can, right? Perhaps its you that should be taking notes instead of acting like God's gift to the boosted LSx crowed.
