Travis is a real bright guy and the tuner at Fast Specialties, he has been tuning on his SC for a long time. When it comes to tuning he is very careful and will not turn out a car that is not conservative. The SC that I spoke of making 318 rwhp belongs to a friend of his that he wrenched on and tuned. I am only telling you guys what we are seeing.David Neibert said:I have yet to see a car break 300 rwhp with a stock longblock unless they had an AR twin screw blower.
No disrespect intended to you Charles, but you've got to admit, that the numbers your posting for the MPIII are not typical. I'm not saying there is a problem with the blower, because IMO it's the best M90 based blower on the market. I'm just wondering how Fast Specialties is able to get those kind of RWHP numbers, and the rest of us can't even come close.

Magnum Powers said:BTW, Kevin’s car does not have anything all that special or expensive in it, just a combination of parts that all work together and performs. I think a lot of SC owner could afford the parts he is using, personally I’d like to see SC’s running those times common place, perhaps that would raise the value of our cars.

sorry just my 2 cents. i just think its pointless
His weight is included in the list. . . . But acording to Dave, dyno numbers are smoke and mirrors, what really matters is track times.Kurt K said:Charles, be sure to include Kevin's race weight, as that is one of the keys to his numbers. I know his car is more than 500 lbs lighter than mine
XR7 Dave said:There are lots of ways to get varying results from a dyno. I'd like to see one of these high HP cars hit the track. Just one. Even if the car is granny shifted and eased off the line it should easily pull 106-108mph at the track. Until I see that I think it's a little bit of smoke and mirrors.

Kevin just ran a 11.305 second, 123 mph 1/4 mile with the MPIII and now holds the record. I stand behind my product and its performance.XR7 Dave said:Not quite Charles. I said that it would be nice to see some track times to back up the dyno numbers. Many manufacturers use independent data or laboratory testing to back up their designs and testing. Since Fast Specialties was not only your partner in the development of the latest MPIII, but he is also a tuner and the installer/mechanic who worked on the car he can hardly be considered independent or objective.
That's all I was saying.

Whats the point of having a crazy head / cam package when you don't have enough air to ram in there?
Thunder427 said:and also, you have never heard of port and polished, or anything for that matter with a dremel ?
last time I checked people did that all of the time.. I understand your bias though, looking at your page, you have no internal mods really ? and have an MP3
