this is at the veryedge of the envelope, the only thing holding me back is the turbo and the driveshafts....shit"
thats the direct quote from the image he posted.... nowhere in there does it say it's a dyno of his car.... just the set up that he has and what it's capable of.

^ Ugh... My COTY vote for Mad_john was primarily based on his claimed hp figures. That blows sad.gif

It's implied... Doesn't necessarily need to be said.

I think my first post came off kind of harsh because I was just trying to mess with him. John's a great friend and I didn't mean to dis him like that. His car is VERY capable of hitting those numbers. ALL he needs is tuning. The dyno he posted was of the same engine and setup, just in a different car. When John got his kit, he bought the race engine from his shop and tuned it to run in the streets and for reliability. If he wanted to he could crank out much higher numbers but it's not always about insane HP. John's car is an extremely well-rounded machine that just about anyone in the states would envy. hail.gif hail.gif hail.gif Mad John
Sorry John

I gotta clarify a few things. Both John and I have never seen his car on an actual dyno. I think his shop gave him a dyno graph of another car -I think it was the same setup however.
That's what I figured. The Koreans do shit like that. It pisses me off. One of the reasons we can NEVER GET DYNO'S OF GAINS EVEN ON VERY POPULAR PARTS.

John and I have raced ~15 times and I have never lost to him.
I thought I read somewhere that he whupped you.

Well, that' sorta dumb to vote for someone because of HP #'s. I vote for the overall car, that's why I was mad there was only an engine picture of his car.

Yeah, that's what I was saying. Even in the thread title for that one he said it was 500+, but we took the dyno and ran with it, as Chris said, making US look stupid.

I hate to break it to you too Jaws, but the top 2 guys had the nicest all around looking and performing cars on the site.
In my opinion.
LOL
Ehh, it might be different, but a revote isn't happening.
I just wanna know what he's really pulling on that sucker now.
