I'm not calling you a liar. Your just misinformed.

Ok, so you've got hotter pistons (I'll assume that means you've got high compression) and you've got a hotter cam. So what?

Cams have very little effect on a stock motor. The stock heads just don't flow well enough in stock form to warrent the extra lift and duration of a aftermarket cam. Often times there is virtully no difference at the track, because the cam pushes the power band up beyond the flow capabilties of the stock E7TE heads.

I can see from the pictures that you posted that your motor still has the stock intake, and apparently the stock heads. Yet you claim to be making a whole 60 more horsepower than stock? The 93 Cobra was rated at 245hp, but in all reality pushed around 255-265 hp. 265hp thanks to the addition of the much better flowing GT-40 head, cobra intake, larger TB and MAF, a different cam, and 1.7 lift roller rockers. Yet you claim 285hp with stock heads, intake, rockers, etc?

The motor in my hatch probably only pushes about 300 and that's with all my mods (see sig)
