Formal Invitation:
To suck a dick!! Haha

Ok fine maybe shes a bit heavier than yours, your girl does get more exercise!

Im just kidding about the dyno day. Of course I can afford it, but until I land a FT job Im staying on my fiscal diet. Btw that employment law guy was just trying to scam free work out of me, tempting me with the prospect of FT employment... he succeeded.

Found out every single lawyer/ clerk/ intern he employed at his firm graduated from Chapman. And the girl who got the job over me had less experience, but went to Chapman. I only found out accidentally by reading a trail of an email from his secretary, who CC'd the new girl, and by doing some research. Funny he was trying to get ME to do the appeal for one of his biggest cases (challenging work) and not this new girl. Which tells me he had more respect for the work I had done, but not enough to sacrifice his alumni cult.

Thats more than I was guessing, 720 engine hp equals 600 whp. You thought I was predicting 720 whp?? Come on man Im not a ricer, ha

My dyno guess thread I guessed 500 whp, because when it comes to hp figures people are usually disappointed.

Not me, I've always been right where I thought. When I first put the 454 in the Chevelle and finished tuning it I wanted to make sure that the AFR was good. So I took it with me when I had the Cobra tuned back in 2004. We did the Cobra first and then the Chevelle. Steve asked me what I thought it would make and I said right around what the Cobra did on the race fuel tune which was 450rwhp and he said that it would probably only make around 350rwhp. After he made the pull he had a big smile on his face. It made 461rwhp and 460rwtq and the AFR hovered around 12.7-12.8. It made me feel proud of my build.

Yes, I thought you were saying now (intercooler, proper tune, more boost) that you were at 720WHP. I'd put you close to 600hp. I think I had you around 580 or something before. I was being generous but I thought it was plausible all things considered. But yeah, I thought you were saying 720 now, and I was saying like, uh, no.

People make odd economic decisions all the time. Let the market deal with him. You'll end up with a big boy firm, I'm 100% sure of it. You're as smart as any of the retainers I've brushed with here and the FTC guys are something crazy like $10,000/day or more,plus some other pile of BS.

Well, you know what you're doing, which tends to help with making estimates. But I've to agree with Adam generally, people tend to get a little overly generous about what they think their tweaks are going to add. When it comes to dynos, or anything car related, I'm more of the "show me" don't "tell me" camp. Most of the guys here have their head screwed on straight, but serious fantasizing is pretty common around the interwebs.
