With my dying fuel pump only providing 2psi, I dyno'd 141.3hp, 140.9 and 140.6.
Stock 6 port, sterling carb, racing beat carb hat, k&n filter, stock fuel pump, full rb exhaust, 2nd gen leading, stock trailing and a stock 12a transmission. How many pics of the car do you want, and how many witnesses do you want? And are you willing to concede when it's proven?

Don't get me wrong whacky, I'm not trying to call you an idiot or anything like that. I wouldn't be that rude. And I'm certainly not questioning your vast knowledge on the subject, but, there is a ever so slight possibility that others may have a little bit of an idea too. There's also a REALLY good chance that I'm just some retarded liar, and you, for some reason, felt it your responsibility to "call me out".
The people from this forum who were present during my run were...
Codeblue
Codeblue2
Codeblue3
Codeblue jr
zbeater
woundup7
bmwgirl
kompressorlogic
spokanerxdude
and countless others.....feel free to ask around the northwest section of either forum.
Don't worry about the bs meter, a lot of people tend to use it a little carelesly.
Thanks
Brian

So I just read back through, and I can't seem to find where I said it was "so impressive". Perhaps you could quote and post it to refresh my memory? All I could find was the post where you said it was bullshit.

if he is willing to build a motor, then why would you do use a stock S4 6port motor?

O.K., so I like the idea (and will probably end up building) the 12a iron, SE housings, S5 N/A rotating assembly, and do some more research about the street port vs. '74 port deal, and decide where to go from there.

I have the 12a street port Racing Beat full exhaust system. Can I just change the header and use everything else? Will this work properly?

Also, I have the Racing Beat intake and Dello. 48 carb. I know the jets will need changed, and the carb tuned, but to get it bolted on, do I need just the lower half of the intake, or to purchase the entire thing? I thought I read some where on the forum that I can use the lower part of a stock 13b manifold, but that doesn't sound right to me for some reason. What is best?

Not trying to hijack, but I thought it was relivant to the thread to ask and was in the process of searching for answers to what was being discussed in this thread anyway. Thanks for clearing up some other questions I had!

if your budget will support this, then this is what i'd suggest ...

streetport 13B
DCOE-style intake and TB (if you go 4-port) OR stock Gen II intake (S4 or S5 if you go 6-port)
MegaSquirt II
custom exhaust (from the header all the way back)

you should be happy with the results.
