So much power? I'd be really upset if I spent the money to build this and only ended up with 600hp

[@lumpyzx2645]

@@SpaceMoviePopcorn I was very disappointed by that, I have a friend with a single carb 408 that makes way more than that, heck that car runs low 9s all day long at the track without nitrous, 27 Essex, would sure be nice if power Nation would give Ford the time of day, they just don't because they don't want to see their GMs and Mopars get blown out of the water by a Ford

Love to see these shows. Ford has always but a stout engine. Since showing these shows to many of my Bud's. To date 4 have dumped their bowties and gone to the Blue Oval. And they are smiles from ear to ear. Why? The power has blown them away. And at least 2 of them has said the durability has convinced them to stay with Ford.

[@jesteris25]

@Craig I didnt know that happened I think its time to do something about this place before it becomes a shit hole (more than it already is). Not having a go at the Americans but if they can do it Im sure as hell Australians can do it. As a Jap car guy I know thats half the problem Australia was producing some good cars we just need to make shit happen. I am more than willing to give some shit a go Im sure Im smart to but there a lot of things I need to learn to and I sure as hell know Im not going to learn it in Australia And now that we are going to importing more American cars we are going to have to follow suit or import every thing and i like to some Australian money here in Australia.

And the inj.are mounted into the lg. square ports of the ram and shooting into the runners, for better flow. And show the true #s of head and intake flow...And 10.5:1 on E85 for an iron block daily driver in the desert.

It would be nice to see the numbers from multiple pulls next to each other along with percent difference. The RPM mark where the engine makes 80% of its peak torque and horsepower along with the range that it holds that, would be cool too.

I've always thought tunnel rams were "too much" but they make perfect sense. They remove the advantages efi intake might have in a consistent cylinder to cylinder AF distribution. Torque curve increases across the board in comparison to a single plane intake.
