Well… In the case of a red light or somebody sleeping at the light if you’re looking at that perspective. But the lowest ET would win the heads up race regardless of horsepower or miles per hour.
I don’t care what you say. You just don’t get to be wrong and quadruple down on it.
Now back to your 13 second whatever.
If everything is perfect. It's oftentimes not.
Oh darn.I think that remark was designed to hurt…
That’s pretty close. Isnt that out of one of the Chrysler books? If so, tires and chassis have gotten far better since that was calculated.
But it’s really close.
It’s also funny (in the weird sense of it) to watch guys running really quick with low MPH. Any underpowered chassis can do that. And then they sit around and ignore the fact that the engine is down on power.
Or guys looking at both MPH and ET and trying to figure out if it’s chassis or engine or both.
Yes.
I’ve got a mill at the machine shop right now and I was offered a Dyno session. But the piston/ring set is 1800. So I’m on the sideline.
Regardless, the Dyno information that people have posted has gotten me closer to where I wanna be.
I think that remark was designed to hurt… or belittle, squish him
Nope. That’s where you live and you like it. Im just trying to get the tread back on track. So move along.
Correct! I was closer to my dial-in, And lost by my reaction time. I was pissed! I chased down that big block Superbee with my Lil 340 too!

I love when people say they're done with a thread only to keep posting.
And then they tell others to get over it…LOL. Absolutely the inability to see themselves yet. It will be everyone else that will be the problem. Me? I love what I do, I love how I do it, and I enjoy this more than people know.I love when people say they're done with a thread only to keep posting.

If Tim would just move on but he won’t. He wants the last dig.
It doesn’t bother me. He’s way out of his lane and got exposed.

A lot of people on this site are like that, unfortunately. It used to not be like that and probably what's driven so many good guys away from this place.
True… True. Some even say that they are done with it and that they’re leaving, only to post 48 more times in the next hour.
How long is recess..?
When I was in high school auto shop everyone was fk'n around in the bays and my instructor broke it up. He turned and asked; "what about you?"
"Is there something we can work on;" I asked. That gentleman taught me how to face valves and grind seats with a Sioux. Never forget his kindness...
I 100% agree with this statement. In fact, I could’ve wrote it.
Then live by it.
You missed it, Tim. That was funny, no matter who you are. Even you should’ve got a chuckle out of it Tim.
If You look at both intakes I posted, there's more going on than just the runner dent fix, and I disagree with that anyways......it may make no difference in some cases, not all. But You are welcome to DM Me any & all articles You have links to, I'm glad to read all available info out there.
Can you show me the dyno sheet for the motor in the truck with the heads that are on it now and the valve train that it has now? I can't find it in any of his videos. The dyno sheet that this entire disagreement is based on.
No, and it may not exist. I believe he took out the E St. heads by Eddie, and put on some mildly ported stealth heads. I believe that is the only change in the engine. The engine with the E St. heads made 530 or something like that.
I like watching Joes videos. It seems like he knows what he's doing to me. Lot of reasons the engine could be making the measured output and not be showing it at the track. Dragging brakes, bent rear end, bad front end alignment, etc. I get the impression that Joe has a lot of projects going on and threw this truck together to have a little fun. I'm sure if he went over it with a fine toothed comb, he could find more et/mph in it. As Forrest Gump said, "That's all I got to say about that". This thread has become silly.
Could be because the calculators are calculating under perfect conditions and a car that is operating at 100% efficiency.
E street heads were fully ported by Ed's machine. Replaced heads with mild ported stealth. Cam from .580 lift to .540 lift. According to Joe. Couldn't find anywhere where this new combination was redynoed. No dyno sheet no dyno numbers. This whole disagreement is based on the fact that the dyno numbers are either right or wrong based on a dyno session that never happened as far as I can tell.
I don’t know, as I stated, I don’t really watch Dino videos. I just know that Joe Dynos engines, and he said in multiple videos, 500 hp 406. I’m not going to take the time to dig through a bunch of videos or call him or anything like that. I didn’t have to use his truck in particular. Joe gave two more examples where the horsepower didn’t show up either, but we’re closer. And there’s many other examples out there too. I used Joe’s truck because I knew I wouldn’t offend him and he wanted me to use it.
