Absolutely not. More like 300hp........if its even an accurate description. If he is lying about the horsepower I'm sure he is lying about other things as well.

Iwannagofast · May 8th, 2009, 01:56 PM

if think 300 is even a stretch....if by gt heads you mean the e7s.....then you might have 230 to the wheels on a good day

is the guys last name "Budz"?

I was refering to flywheel horsepower, not wheel horsepower. I like to compare flywheel numbers.

strohm · May 8th, 2009, 04:40 PM

The parts listed will not support 425hp naturally aspirated. Even in ported form.

- Ask to see reciepts and flow numbers on the "ported" heads.

- Ask if the intake has been ported at and if it has, all an reciepts and flow data for that as well.

- Ask how he determinted the compression ratio. Ask specifics like head gasket bore diameter, head gasket thickness, distance between the deck surface and the piston, what brand of pistons (part number?), piston dome or dish volume, valve relief volume and chamber volume.

- Ask for camshaft specs

95StangMX · May 8th, 2009, 06:26 PM

Tell him to quit smoking that balanced and polished CRACK

24lb injectors for 400 plus power - fail

Imran · May 9th, 2009, 02:14 AM

People lie

some guy sold his new edge GT and told the guy buying it that it had forged stuff, so the buyer did mods that would be supported by the built bottom end, and he blew some shit up. Turns out the seller lied.

Ask QMSolutions. He's fixing the damn thing for him.

strohm · May 9th, 2009, 05:38 AM

I dont think im gonna get this thing. I wanted something with good power and only light mods like an exhaust thats it. I ll prob get a firebird or camero now. Thanks for the input

We lost one to the dark side....

strohm · May 9th, 2009, 11:54 AM

no dont get me wrong iv wanted a fox body for a very long time but right now its just not practical. Ill will get one eventually. I might even get that mustang i mentioned but the mpg is prob terrible.

95cobra50 · May 9th, 2009, 12:35 PM

i get 15-20... i doubt many camaros or firebirds with v8's and 4.10 gears get much more than that... if what you want is gas mileage, then you'd probly get a v6?

strohm · May 9th, 2009, 10:07 PM

I def want an 8cyl, anything else is unacceptable.

Chris951 · May 9th, 2009, 10:31 PM

Then why are you worrying about gas mileage?

1slo5.0 · May 9th, 2009, 11:19 PM

Decent mileage with a V8 is possible. Its not uncommon to get 25mpg on the highway with a Mustang. I'm sure Camaros and Firebirds are comparable.
