Am I just completely wrong or does this sound a bit high. I could see maybe 450-500 at the block with just a cam. It didn't sound aggressive enough to be anything like what some of you guys or the old school 10 second cars run. But I just lol'ed and nodded in agreement. Thing was spewing more oil than a porn shoot as well.
Anyone here ever build an LQ4? The motor didn't look super fresh, but looked like a decent setup. The intake looked like a SUM-226125.
