Yeah, I've got good pics of my GF saving me from falling off a 5 story building roof on 4th of July. Needless to say, Vanilla Rum, Twister, and chasing it down with beer makes for a good reason not to be on a roof of any kind, or atleast a good pic. I knew I kept her around for a reason

I'll try to post it up sometime.

someone said "lt1 need backpressure" as a myth.

i think the statement is the myth.

ALL n/a motors need some amount of backpressure to scavenge properly.

not true for turbo setups, not sure about s/c

But it's not back pressure per se, is it? Just that back pressure is inevitable with any exhaust system. I think it's a case of "the less the better", provided the mod that decreases back pressure doesn't mess up the exhaust tuning.

I don't think I said it very well, hope you know what I meant.

i dunno why you keep bringin it up...i just said i wasnt impressed with the flow #s......i never said they did not or would not make power...

im just not impressed with the flow #s for the price of those heads

brook

brook,
who gives a rats *** about flow numbers. unless your racing on a flow bench

heads should make power before providing impressive numbers.

i make 950rwhp

so who cares? my heads flow 50cfm more that you.

I dont know why you keep bringin upthat picture, we all know it was photoshopped in the lounge.

LOL! As I read this, I am flipping channels and I see the lady from the oxygen network flailing a ***** around! All I can think of is, "Did she get that from Trey?" LOL On a more serious note, does your car really run 14s with a stroker Trey? I know I've never seen you post an e.t., and was curious what it actually ran. Ever dyno it? A 150 shot should get you to 400 RWHP where you want to be.

Man based on this thread there is nothing we can do to our cars to gain HP. This is very intersting that everyone is so negative to pretty much every mod on our cars. okay so what works or should we just settle for 275HP on a 95z or 285 on a 96z. I guess this means that there are alot of wrong people on this board.
