Unless it lost a ****load of power from the exhaust I would say the dyno was pretty accurate. It was in tuning mode too, not shootout. But Im hanging out for a dyno day with some car club to get a comparison with others anyway.

Engine: 304 Power = 299.1 RWHP (219.98KW) ... god damn I want to get it over 300!!!!! Mods: -Cam (Unkown) -Injectors -Haltech ECU -Heads -RPM reset to 6250 Judging by looking around at other N/A 304 figures I have a pretty stout N/A 304 ... but I think there is a little more I can get out of it - the compression is still low 8's so that maybe next. I am looking into upgarding my ignition sytem.

walkies are not strokers - just injected 304's with some goodies.

Havent been on in awhile, but the car is finally on the road after almost 5 months......WOOHOOOOO!!!!!!! Each time i get in it now, cant wipe the smile off my face. Im still running it in, so ive only been revving it to about 5000rpm, but it still fries the tyres through 1st and 2nd gear. Im so glad i decided to go for a big stroker, the way it accelerates so smoothly and hard is great. Once its run in, il take it to Sams Performance and get it dyno tuned and see what numbers it produces. Im getting psyched just talking about it now, might have to go for a cruise p.s good fuel economy isnt its greatest asset Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
