bro just because they said 28+ hp gain doesn't mean they mean at the wheels, also nor do they say this is on a stock motor

since they don't print the entire motor setup, doesn't make it true for all cars, for all
we know they could be telling the truth about 28hp gain, but it could be on a car with
fully ported heads and a huge cam, with no breathing on the stock manifolds

bro, you have no idea what you are talking about. and i will say it again. lol 7 rwhp from a TB coolant bypass. now that is some good shit. 28 rwhp from shortys on a stock/bolton LT1 - another great one. but the best is the Hypercrap choice. WOW. hypertech gives you as much power to the wheels as me kicking you in the nuts. and i charge way way less.

listen to the guys that have LT1s and have moded them sucessfully. stop reading advertisements. your HP claims are straight up ricer bro.

and i dont give a shit what your dad races or how big his dick is. thats week. show me what you have found on your LT1. k, thanks.

if your car runs abnormally hot then it's "possible" to gain 7 rwhp but for the most part it's a 2-3 hp gain

i have actually dynoed a TB coolant bypass mod. 0 gain. did it for s-n-gs and dyno owner was my buddy. in any event 2-3 rwhp is easily from variance in the barometric pressure which effects the correction factor. also motors tend to gain and loose power llike that from just normal operation.

in any event....back to our regularly scheduled program

also why are we talking about 285 rwhp stock LT1s? did i miss the boat on this one?

Wow clearing the tears out of my eyes. Thanks for the comedy, seriously ask the guys who bust out 10 & 11's they MIGHT have a clue. Better yet call a reputable performnce shop and say hey will you install my shorties and guarantee 28 rwhp??

Fine I wont argue no more. I am not no mid 20's to 30 year old guy who has 3gs to throw away on a stroker kit.. I am 16. I try to listen to what everyone has to say, because I am an amatuer when it comes to computerized EFI cars, as to carburated. I figured the guy at the local High Performance shop wouldnt try to make anything up. I have been around awhile listening and talking to people about there cars, countless times have I heard people on and offline, on and off Tamparacing.com that have told me Stock new LT1s had for the most part likw 285RWHP. It seems everytime I open or ask for advice on this people either Say I need some kinda LS1 conversion, or dont know anything. ALmost anyone here can tell me where to buy rims Pacesetter headers, but when I aske about brakes hardly anyone responds. Kinda weird u can build up ur motor but never change your brakes. Im not here to argue, but when I try to help and I am wrong ohwell. Anytime I wanted to know all the stuff I know now I tried asking people from this site.
