I was actually gonna get turbo tom's dyno graph. My dyno is forth coming(it takes time to build a beast likr mine is gonna be), the point I was trying to make is that I built a complete bottom end that will sustain 500+ daily driven horsepaower for what it costs you 3L guys to get a set of forged rods, and for what it cost you guys to get custom pistons I had the whole assembly balanced and blue printed.

That is correct. I want it to be able to come as close as possible to 12's as a contour can come. When I get done. If it can't be done, so be it. But I am going to die trying. LOL

So you built an entire "bullet-proof" bottom end for under a grand! (block, crank, rods, pistons, bearings, etc)
Please let me know where you found all these exceptionally cheap parts. Heck let EVERY Zetec owner know I am sure they would all love to be building engines for under a grand.
Heck it's hard to build a solid Duratec (whole engine) for much under $1200 and that uses stock rods & pistons. (though both have supported over 400 HP & 8k+ rpm so...)

I almost posted the same thing but thought a worthless graph (*for normal use) like that was not worth my time.
However now that someone else has brought it up I can not stop laughing at the actual comparison of that graph to a "streetable" car. What a freakin' JOKE!
{rant on}
Dyno/drag queens are for the birds... Give me a real street driven, overall car any day.
Yes that includes posting "one off" numbers and saying you are "streetable" but "really" in "street tune" you make significantly less power.
