Am I missing something?  Reading though that grammatical nightmare, I see no mention of forced induction or giggle juice.  The most optimistic N/A numbers I can find for those heads -- ON AN ENGINE DYNO WITH A HUMONGOUS CAM -- are 375 AT THE FLYWHEEL

I even asked if I missed something, but I gotta be honest......I smell something that comes out of the back end of a bull.

You're STILL 100 ponies shy of Skippy there :hick:

Seriously though, people actually come to car enthusiast forums with real issues and ask for help, but while doing so they have to lie about the power/parts they make/have and then wonder why the advice given was not spot on?  Honesty and correctness in situations such as this only help thise who are trying to help the person with the issue.

Lightning injectors? WTF does THAT mean?  I'm going to assume 24 pounders from an early Windsor motor equipped Lightning.  Those, stock rails and stock sized feed and return lines will sufficiently feed those magic parts that make almost 500 to the tires :rolleyes:

I think I'm gonna call his bluff when/if he responds.
