    what does that matter? pump gas is for pussies

    Anyway, I know at least one import here making 700+ on pump (no meth.)
    With meth, I know a couple in the 800 whp area
    I guess meth is cheating, too

    So..... it takes meth to make 800 rwhp on these motors?
    DCR/SCR, VE's, timing and a few other things come into play, but I'm perty phuckin' sure I'll be doing 800+ rw fairly easily on 93 pump. Just gotta know which direction the domino's are gonna fall

    Sounds to me like race gas is for pussies

    There is no such thing a "cheating" in racing. However only true racers know this.

    You do know im talking methanol injection with pump, as opposed to running pure methanol fuel...right? Just making sure.
    If you think making 700 whp from 3.0 liter 6 cyls (and sometimes evern 2.0 liter 4 cyls) isnt impressive, you just arent paying attention. How much displacement and number of cylinders do you have?

    I have to do it... "ask any racer...any real racer, and theyll tell you it doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile...winning is winning."
    Then I dont know why people are whining that you need race gas in a 3 liter to make 800 whp.

    No. My mistake. Thought you were speaking of full fed apps. ....

    Never said it wasn't impressive. What got my thong in a knot was the "pump gas is for pussies" comment

    Yeah yeah.... I hear yah. I'll be seeing ~2/2.1 rwhp per ci. on a 415" motor. I understand the math. Anything above and beyond that on ANY motor earns my respect.

    Wasn't whining. Just asking if that's what it took. I guess the answer is yes.

    Dont get me wrong, you werent the one I was talking about whining about pump gas originally. Also, the "pump gas is for pussies" comment was meant specifically for a few people on here... Its a joke from a thread a while back...
    Unfortunately there is a limit when you just cant get any more power out of a small-displacement motor without more octane for boost/timing. Believe me, Id just as soon not pay 10/gallon for gas all the time, but meth injection is harder to tune and they arent the most reliable and accurate systems out there. Its not worth the headache.
    2 HP/cubic inch is pretty good specific output, esp for a large cube motor. Im sure itll be a fun ride when you get it done.
