Re: Is 350 RWHP Possible ?
 

I pretty much left this topic because I had no desire to get into a who has the prettiest smelling shit contest, but it seems as though you think you've somehow quashed my comments, yet I still don't really see where we've disagreed in theory because in each example you've given, something is different than I've quoted (i.e. ported intakes vs stock intakes).

Telling people that (A) is possible or (B) is possible based on a somewhat misleading claim isn't right. i.e. a professional porting job is not a shitty home port job, and a stock intake is not a professionally ported stock intake. Maybe we've got a communication breakdown in the terminology department.

Regardless, I stand firmly by my comments in this thread, and I feel completely at ease doing so. Taking my comments out of context or bending them to apply to a different scenario isn't fair to me or the people relying on your advice to build their combination with the expectations their (A) combo will be capable of (B) performance. I'm not about to blow sunshine up somebody's ass, and that is worth more to me in the "class act" category than even unintentionally misleading people to make them feel better.

And I'll stand by my position. I've worked with over 400 people on about every kind of Ford intake that is in common use. None were dissapointed in the results because I didn't "blow sunshine up somebody's ass" either. The results of my work are well documented and my reputation is in tact. You did throw the BS flag on something I know has been done. Done by professional people? - yes, but not a professional race team or high dollar engine builder. I called you on it simply to point out that 280+HP from ported junk stock parts IS possible and they won't have to break the bank to do it.

Your comfortable and so am I.........so just leave it at that.

Re: Is 350 RWHP Possible ?
 

So then it does boil down to a terminology issue. When I say "stock" I mean stock as it left the factory. When you say "stock" you mean a casting that carries the factory part number. Upon re-reading my post, I can see how it would be easy to confuse what I said because I didn't elaborate on "stock."

There's potentially a big difference between as it left the factory and after modification to the factory part. So would you agree that taking a bone stock 5.0 and simply bringing the heads into the garage and having an amateur going at them with a knurled cutting wheel and a drill (i.e. junk home port job), and throwing on a 60mm T/B is not going to get you 285rwhp?

That's what I'm talking about, and that's why I called BS. Everything about my BS call goes out the window as soon as you starting talking about quality headwork on the E7s, and professionally porting the intake, etc.

Re: Is 350 RWHP Possible ?
 

Yes, we did have a disconnect on terms then. I have not seen true stock parts make over 230-240RWHP when assembled and tuned with detail by someone who knows what their doing (without cheating either). The power levels I spoke of were definately about ported stock parts dome by someone who has a clue - either a pro or an avid enthusiest.
