What Hot street class are you talking about? I know NMCA had it and switched the name for the N/A class. Just curious we ran that stuff with a 318 engine and a 5 speed.

sign me up for a steel headed 9-1 comp, small cam, 496 that makes 700 H.P.

Sounds like I wasted a ton of money bulding my 496 !! 13.5 to 1 comp, brodix cnc'd bb2 extras, big solid roller, super victor,1150 dominator that made a little over 800 h.p.

Mark,

I don't see more than one guy really calling you out on your numbers. With that, you need to have Harold Bettes come down and verif everything?

If you took my post as doubting your abilities, then you need to go back and read it again. I was forming my guess based on the info provided and the tools I had. Don't let my love for the LS based motors rain on your parade, there is still a market for big blocks, just not in my stuff.

You seem a little quick to get defensive, but hey, I can understand taking things personal at times.

Generally this is where I would go into defensive mode, BUT, I did see the picture of your beautiful L78 camaro and I do believe you do deserve some respect. The 800 HP oval port 11.5 compression engine has not been down the track yet, my customer will have runs on it coming up this spring. To me, I like to know the (racing background) of the people questioning my dyno numbers. So I think its only fair I state my background. I machine and build and test my own engines, everything is machined in house with the crankshaft as an exception. 1. Two strait hot street championships (550 inch NA 10 inch tire 3350 pounds) both ends of the records, won every race except for 1 over a two season span, as an engine builder. 2. The fastest full weight, small tire, oval port (GM) production blocked chevelles in country come out of my shop. 3. Just for you I have an example of a Vortecpro powered 468 NA camaro, I think you just might be able to identify with. NA 468 9.40 @ 142.40 1.28 60 on the foot brake @ 1670 feet DA @ KCIR. BTW on that dyno you questioned the HP of, it made (the 468) 45 less hp than yours, 795 HP. Happy reading:metal:

Dont get in your defensive mode..Sounds like you have had some fast cars,you never know when a keyboard racer is just bumping there gums.

I have had friends show me dyno sheets with big numbers and the car wouldnt run anywhere close to the number it should have.

Thanks for the compliment on my old camaro, I had a 582 bbc,13.5-1 comp,cfe 385 bmf heads,single carb, N/A that dyno'd 1133 H.P built for that car and never got to put it in. That would have been fun !! One of these days I am going to build another hot rod and I may look you up for a powerplant. Geary
