Now I have this article from car craft magazine where they tested the motor and this is what it looked like. What do you all think ? peak hp 6000 peak tq 4100

Question...Have you ever heard the phrase:
Don't believe nothing you read (from a magazine) and half of what you see. (at the race track)
Why is it that you always refer to a magazine?
It seems like you think these magazines are gospal or something.
You have to look at the whole picture. These magazines print what they want to print, so they sell!!!

Another point of view....do you always believe in everything a salesmen says, when they are trying to sell you something???

Magazines are good reference points, but you also have to be wiery of what they wright in there coloumns. I know some cars that were featured in several different magazines, and it just seems that, sometimes they forgot a key element in a persons combo just to make it sound more intresting..I wonder why

So to answer your question, maybe the heads were done a little more then stated or a little more compression, or maybe the cam was retarded a couple more degrees then stated!

All I am saying is be cautious of what you read and don't take it for gospal. There are alot of people on this forum that can speak from experiance and give you good solid advise and really don't have nothing to gain or loss by it, unlike many magazines when they have big companies help them promote there stuff. Come on do you really think they are going to bash a company's product when there are giving them a lot of money???? Never bite the hand that feeds you!
