How many TT with 3.8?

I spoke to Todd and he said his car runs great. he is running twin GT35rs with a .63 hotside. Unfortunately the heads are lifting after 1 bar. Todd did not put the motor together. I am confident that within a month or so Rob's car will be fixed accordingly and I am sure it will do 850+ RWHP. MAybe Rob got out of hand if he stated that he has 250+ rwhp... but Rob will have everything Scott is about to do with the heads plus the 3.8L on top of it...

I learned the first day on this forum that nobody gets a pass on B.S! (except VR 
) I don't think anybody dought's that Rob's car will be a monster, but get it running first before calling people out 
. but then again i dont have sh*t yet either

. You cross forums to take info that was posted on Rennlist about a UMW dyno sheet that made as much power on pump gas as yours on race gas and then you proceeded to make snide comments about hypothetical/theoretical horsepower in your 60-130 thread. On that Rennlist thread NO predictions of times or speeds was made. The data was just laid out. Yet over here, Rob has talked about routine sub 5 sec 60-130's and 250+ RWHP over EVOMS gt700 kit and has produced ZERO data to back it up and you say nothing....absolutely nothing. I guess if a Protomotive customer makes claims without a shred of data it is OK in your eyes
. For the record, I do think Rob will make that power and run those times. When he does I will congratulate him publicly as I have done every other EVO or Proto car that has set a new standard. How about a little consistency? Kevin

This is Robs dyno on .8 bars I just do not know anything about it. Rob asked me to post it for him.
As far as Rob's predictions... well, if I recall he is not the only one benchracing.... I have seen many posts about " should do 9s this time"... " or 10s for sure".... its only human nature to believe what we want to in order to rationalize our overspent tuning upgrades... Heck I am guilty of that myself.
Look how hard it was for my car to run a 9. Yet , from the look of my HP and weight I should be doing it easily. Other tuners anbd customers tried a handful of times more then I... its not easy...
