Put it this way. I know of a top shop who spent $30,000 over the winter working on a valve seat design that picked up 2hp and this was only for their Stock Eliminator program. Pro Stock is working in even smaller increments, and yes - Pro Stock engines are developed and tested on a Dynamometer.
Just because it's not in someone's post on a mustang forum waiting to be plagiarized, doesn't mean it's not true. It just means that TC doesn't have access to any better data. Wallace Racing calculator? LMAO.

I dont plan on getting in a pissin match with you BUT P/S cars
actually play in .001 instead of .01 so figure what it takes then...
does it figure out to a lesser number.... and those numbers change
day to day just on the weather... when your on a dyno it makes X
HP per those conditions of the day

Ideal no, but servicable. What I can't do is fit them on the DTS or Super Flow engine dynos.
Your Rampage just rules, I'm surprised more people haven't built them given how great it looks as you've done it.
done me right.... hey, if you cant get the headers on and off with relative ease then
they really arent worth the headaches... so you do what ya gotta do.... thanks on
the Rampage.... I got the block back today so I'll have it ready for the dyno Tuesday...
I dont really care tooo much about the numbers BUT I am curious ... all I want is about
525-550 hp... just want to be able to run 10.0-10.2
