sorry, but IMO watching a Chevy block putting down massive Pony on the dyno is not that exciting. seen plenty growing up. Making Power with 1.2 or 1.3 rotary is the ticket.

I see it differently;
I really love the 13b, but the LS motors are great in the HP/torque department. They do a lot of things well, and a dyno pull is one of them. So an LS motor on a dyno is great to see, no matter what car it is in.

If you can get a few more people, grab them. We have several spaces still open. I thought this would have been bigger, but considereing that there are 3 dyno days on the same weekend

This is a very intelligent man. HP/L racing is where it's at, because that's what really matters at the end of the day.

Q: Why? A: Because its a proven formula. Watch something enough and it becomes boring. Ask Pr0n stars if they love to do it, and most of them cant even get it up with out assistance.



Watching a rota** make big power on a dyno ISSS exciting, But its exciting in the same way drifting is, eve**one is just waiting for disaster to happen.



so, you can hve your 13b and i'm going to keep my ls1, but i'm going to be driving mine in 100k miles from now.



Oh, and regarding another post in another thread, where someone was complaining about how people whine about reliability of the 13b. when Noobs sign onto honda boards stating how they just bought a sweet new B16, the other older forum members dont tend to make jokes about "You better get another *** for when that one breaks down. har har har..."

Stereo types arent always true, but one wonders how they come about...

Well guys,

I got my FD running and drivable, but I still have to drive it around town and button things up before I can really trust driving it relatively far. So sadly, I won't be able to make the dyno Brismo- joo wanna pick me up nikka?

If it is dangerous to drive, don't do it. But call together the troops and make it happen if you can

So Brismo killed me. I got 169rwhp, I think he just about doubled that.
My girls car (intake, headers, exhaust) dynoed at 127hp. Considering it was labeled at 132 at the crank factory new, and this one has 100,000 miles on it, I was impressed.

The last car of the day was a GT500 mustang that put out 458 to the tires.

^^ Hey, nice, any pics/video? Better yet, do you have run files from the dyno operator? I would like to examine them. Wish I could've gone.

I forgot to grab my print out.

They may be putting all the dyno runs on their website. If I find them I will post up
