If you really want to find out send me a pm with your phone # and i will invite you to attend when i put it on a dyno.

Not saying $4500 is not high for 500 HP (it is) but 500 HP for $600 is something that are not associated in the same sentence. If you can lay down 500 HP for a $600 outlay, it will be a first for me. And I do not believe anything unless I see it. Call me a skeptic, but I have been on this board for WAY too long to know that there is SO much exageration on this site to think otherwise

Not to mention what you just said above. If you can make 500 hp for $600, then why are you "prescribing" the above list to him?

Ya we go to HMP alot their seems to be alot more diesels and also the regulations arent near as strict, I just seems like a funner atmosphere although we now have to wear helmets so its starting to turn in hrp. Ya seriously come out and join us we'd love to have you we might even have a few beers for ya and bring that car of yours.

People all up on the starting line, tech was non exisistent, etc...Didn't HMP change ownershp not too long ago????? I see you are in Huntsville? I went to Sam Houston WAY back in the day ('90-'91). Shoot me a PM next time you are going out

You might be able to put down close to 500hp for $600, but you won't be daily driving it for long if you actually use the power. You need supporting mods to daily drive with 500 useable HP.
