Secondly, and more importantly...
Be careful pal. I've have never attacked you persoanlly. I have before now enjoyed what was a good argument. But if you are going to accuse me of spreading misinformation, you better be able be able to prove what I'm posting is inaccurate. And don't let your 3 years of J-Body experience let you think you can be cocky.
This thread was started for people that didn't know much at all about using the Build Book or what kind of limits exist on their powertrains. I'm going to help with them with the most conservative information available. I'm not going to advise them to put more power into their cars then it can safely handle.
You and I know that the car can handle more then the stats say it can when done correctly, just don't be a jerk about it.
