CJ engine options and HP ratings.

How about NHRA gets a moble chassis dyno and they pick and chose cars to put on the chassis dyno when a cars on its way back up the return road and start factoring all combos by there "real" hp. Everybody wants to bitch about everything let take the BS out of it and just show everybodys hand.

Neither do we. And we're at only 4HP less than the recently refactored Cobra Jets that do.

That dyno is out of calibration.

Which one? Are you sure? Because the dyno numbers sure match the performance so far.

Yeah you're talking about a speed shop that make the dyno read what ever they want by a stroke of a few keys. Look customer your car came in making 500 hp and now it makes 600 hp and all we did was change the tune (and the DA on the dyno) and look we made you 100 hp more. BTW here's your bill for $1,000 have a good day.

$100,000 to build a new cj is a little high. And the year has everything to do with it you just don't get it. As far as dyno numbers go what do you think a good LS1 makes for power? I know for a fact some LS1 make over 535hp and there rated at 373hp. If the cj makes somewhere around600hp and is rated at 435hp it's really not that far out of line.

The Cobra Jet makes over 700HP at the flywheel.

Really? Gee, I know nothing about dynos, I've only been operating them for 20 years or so.

You can make a dyno lie, but it is hard to fool the clocks at a drag strip.
