He said as much and blamed it on all the things that he's probably right about.

I said what he has been saying, and I said it in post 1418, 1419. And even more post. He even says that wasn’t 500 hp on that pass L O L. But for whatever reason, I hate dinos and he is not saying what I’m saying lol. Let’s just say it is Joe’s fault, OK fine, that’s still not 500 horse and he knows it, old yeller, knows it, and drag truck knows it, even lunch break knows it L O L
If I were Joe, I'd hook it up to a chassis dyno. There is no way to tune for race trim on a chassis dyno.
I suspect he's powering through the convertor, no way he drops 125 hp from the difference in headers and coolant temps or even ignition.
In the end, who cares whose fault it is? It's water under the bridge. More "I'm right and you're not" stuff. Makes me sick to my stomach. He has to do it in every stinkin thread he's involved with. I really like the guy. He's a WEALTH of information but he has zero people skills.
...and most of those that get hauled around to tracks all over the country are worthless. All they serve is the rustang and cajunko crowds so they can say "mine makes more power". I agree though a GOOD chassis dyno in a permanent setting with a GOOD operator can help.
I can tell you right now, this matters way more to some people here than it does to Joe. Joe is having a blast as am I.
I will tell you this, anyone that says all the 500 Dyno horses showed up at the track would not touch anything under the hood of my car. I don’t care what they claim for experience, and I don’t care what they’ve seen. I actually think it’s funny myself. I need to make a shirt that says dynohorses don’t race lol and mail him one.

It's his money and time. He might need 650hp on the dyno to reach a goal if he had one. lol
I'd expect to run within a couple of mph of what the engine is capable of though, that's really not too much to ask for and is usually the case.
Yeah. There's no way that happened. lol
And when I’m able to get going on the 440, I’ll start a new thread with a fitting title. This is now for whomsoever will for the winter lol
A little history. I remember when Joe bought that truck, out in a field. kind of like me with my truck, and he set it aside for whatever. He got invited to the tailgate throwdown, and he thought it sounded like fun. So he took the 406 he had sitting in his shop, and threw it in the truck with a converter, 411s, and slicks. He went to the tailgate throwdown and had a blast. I have full confidence if Joe wants that truck to cut the cheese, he will do it. If that means nitrous, more cubes, or whatever. And if it is Joe‘s engine, he is not afraid to race what he puts on the Dyno
I’ve said that already on the last few pages at least 20 times. Thanks again for agreeing with me!
I won’t drag a friend into a cesspool. And he is my friend. Truthfully, I would be embarrassed for him to see that I participated in these last 13 pages. He’d be shocked that I participated.
In the meantime…… while I refuse to learn… I continue to get my daily appreciation comments as I’m happy to say I help people in dumb ways lol

And you know twat? That's all that matters!
I noticed AJ/S hasn't made any predictions...
That engine was extremely underwhelming. I wished he had looked into the camshaft centerline... some-ting wrong.
I agree. I think it may have had multiple problems.
I did make it down and look at my intake like I said. It does have the dent in the runner. However, I really wouldn’t like for anyone to pay for the shipping on a cast-iron intake. If I do a swap at the strip, I want it to be for an RPM. I really appreciate the offer though. I really do. Thank you.
