WOW!!! Have a little patience or nobody will help you here. Personally I would not be willing to venture a guess about your question because there are too many other variables involved.

wow

I dunno, maybe I'm just one of the "dumb" people who look at posts and don't reply. Sorry for not meeting your standards, if you'd like, pm me and I'll tell you of another forum, maybe they're up to your level.

i can only attest to the helpfulness of people on this site. i have gained a tremendous ammount of knowledge from reading and posting here.
one thing i learned early on is that some questions get asked more than others and some get asked everyday. You should try and perform a keyword search first and then if you get no answers from it, at least you'll be armed with enough info to get the kind of help you need. give these folks a chance, they're some of the smartest and most helpful people ive met on the net.

Now that's no way to get answers! Just jump the gun and pee in everyone's cornflakes, why dontcha? Please go take a chill pill and come back with an apology and a more polite attitude, and maybe if you're a nice boy, Ol' Uncle Davey'll happily run a Desktop Dyno sim for ya if you give me some more data (cam, exhaust, compression ratio, carb size, etc.)...

Some people would gripe if they were hung with a new rope.

Pull it out put 5000.00 in it and I would say if you put the money in right place 350-400hp.
