Yes that kit is a dry kit, but ZEX also makes wet fogger systems. I think the ZEX kits make so much power because of how they control fuel enrichment

You are not a fan? Have you ever used or installed one? I have been selling the ZEX kits for years and they are just as good as everyone else on the market and there are a few features that make them better in my opinion. I think the numbers and performance of the car speaks for itself

That sounds about right. Ive seen on here time and time again, an LT1 with my setup putting down anywhere from 310-340rwhp, which is already ~70 over stock. Then throw in a 125shot that will perform better than 125 bc of mods and tune, and you easily make up that 220 # mentioned.

That is exactly why I made the thread, as I was as impressed with it as anyone. I also made sure to have the dyno sheet and video available for anyone to see before the BS flags were raised.

As for differences in dyno's, maybe the car would have made more or less power on a different dyno, fine. We dont race dynos. But 571tq on one dyno isnt going to be 400tq on another, the car clearly is performing well for pennies. I feel my mid 120 mph traps were evident of that as well. From any calculations I've done, to get an fbody trapping mid 120s would require a similar amount of hp.

If anyone else doubts it, thats fine, I hope plenty that I race this year dont think my winter ride has it in it $$$

As for motor runs, I didnt care. This engine was assembled with its budget shot in mind, was tuned with its shot in mind, and is raced with that shot. You wont catch me racing without my bottle and slicks, I dont bring a knife to a gunfight. We made a quick shakedown run to make sure I wasnt getting any detonation with the crappy winter gas, and it performed as Jason mentioned previously in the thread. I saw no need in putting an NA tune in and wasting any more dyno time and $. I felt it performed comparibly well with the usual hotcam, RR, headers, exhuast cars seen on here daily. Then it was time to show what it really has.
