It wasn't a failure. Someone popped the hood in between runs without closing it all the way.

Thanks, good to hear, sorry for you, but glad it wasn't an issue.

I'd still recommend pins. It's just safer

Wow Adam, that seems like a big variance?
BTW, I just picked up Tim's cf hood, what issues were you having specifically when yours flew up?

Agree. 468 seem extremely generous, but that's assuming your running heads, cam, tb, headers, CAI...

Fyi for approximate numbers. The dyno dynamics dyno reads 16% lower than dynojet. My dynamics # was 403. Dynojet was 468. Just for anyone who ran.

Seems about right. Mine made 20hp less dynojet with converter unlocked vs locked

Ported heads w/valve job, ported intake and tb, cam, stall, headers, vcm otr. To name a few things. I don't exactly think it's generous. The only thing I didn't do was valves ....

I just haven't seen many others putting down those kind of numbers with similar mods unless they were running more cubes...some dynos are stingy while some are more generous. It seems that most folks with your mods are in the 420 to 430 ballpark. Whose dyno were you on when you put down 468? Livernois?

Smokeys Dyno in Akron.

Cool. Wasn't trying to knock you or your car. I was just surprised by the numbers. I have a lot of respect for you as well as your contributions to this site. I saw your car dyno and was digging the front end and side skirts that you've put on it...

Thank you. The numbers may be a little high according to some. But I've spent more than the average person leaving essentially nothing on the table.

I figured this would be the best place to post this.
Would anyone that came to this event be interested in going to an event at the newly renovated Dragway 42. Rough open date for the track is July 14th. I can get in touch with the owner to see about pricing. Private track rental. Etc. Let me know. I will start a thread if there is interest
