For years it was a commonly held thought that you couldnt get over 300 hp with the stock engine managment without spraying it with N2O. 205 was the highest stock rating.
I dont listen with to "can't". I tuned and tweaked a stock longblock to 332 hp and 344 tq... at the wheels. With no exotic parts.
I just tend to lean towards hands on and real world ideas.

You stop dreaming, you stop living.

I like this approach. You gets nuthin' for nuthin' in this world, unless you are real lucky.

Anything I ever got I had to dream it up. First you visualize, then, you do. Like virtual reality, only for real.

After the virtual image is confirmed, you figure out how to impose the reality.

500hp? I know how that will work, let's do it.
