er...where'd you get those #'s?

and yes, bubba's right - my ECM (stock GM tune) hates the jump in compression (9:1 -> 9.5:1) and the fact that i have a larger than stock cam.

fyi - there are two reported 400 hp 2.8L N/A motors currently existing in the world, they are both in boats however. but the point is that it can be done N/A -- just how you build it. definitely would like to know how they built those motors lol. :-p

edit: before the cam, but after the topend swap i did (before the 184rwhp/212rwtq...should have dyno'd then too)... i have to date held off a stock 1996 Z28 Convertible. I was showing off for him cause he was interested in what my car could do - cause it sounds amazing "for a v6" as he put it... i did a clutch drop at a stoplight - 5k and floored it (i have a T5..so its respectable, 3.4L cars + autos = t3h suck, imo) and i did a nice little burnout and launches and took off and powershifted (hammered) from 1-4th gear. i pulled around the corner and into a parking lot and when he finally caught up and stopped he was like "omfg - what did you do to that thing???" i replied with "what do you mean?" to which he said "I was flooring my car and I couldnt catch up to you... once you took off i did the same and i started gaining on you but i got like a few car lengths and then suddenly i couldnt close the gap anymore...what have you done to this beast??"

true story - stock 1996 Z28 Convertible - Auto. with between 170rwhp and 184rwhp and between 207 and 212rwtq.

anyhow -- i've digressed. wheres the pics bubba?
