Default Really?

http://www.dezod.com/pd_force_...d.cfm

it claims to have over 200 hp at just 5 psi and that head. those numbers sound a little high to me but i really wouldn't have the experience to know. can anyone confirm that this setup would make something similar to that? i know they exaggerate numbers like that (ex, intake gaining up to 9hp) and i wasn't sure if this was one of them.

it just seems too easy, turbo kit for $3K, this head for $1200, that would be 200hp for less than $5k.

that's what i'm thinking...200hp and more tq the hp? it just seems too good to be true. would there be any other engine mods you'd have to do to accomplish this or would a stock block be able to hold that...its only 5 psi and our motors can handle something around 9psi right?

I wouldn't run that head without a bottom end build unless you're really committed towards giving it a killer tune.

psi isn't relevant to determining how much a bottom end can take. Judging CFM's is a better route because that determines the volume of the air entering the motor.

if i were to run this setup, i'd do a 9-5 tune in jersey. my cousin knows a guy down there who is supposibly the best on the east coast. i know you can't underestimate the power of a good tune.
