read what you posted. You see that part where you say "no exhaust"....thats what i was talking about. you said it, not me.

Allow me to explain general punctuation and conversational grammar.
First of all my statement is of a "cause and effect" nature.
(1) Here I am interjecting my subjects, not tied together but as an either/or setup to following points of conversation. You will notice a comma after the two subjects. This seperates the subjects and does not combine the two, rather pairs them as points of conversation.
"anyone willing to run short pushrods and no exhaust,"
(2) Next you will find a hyphenated statement (preceded by the afformentioned break in thought).
"stock injectors and maf - regardless of intent to buy upgraded components -"
The use of a hyphen implies another break in conversation and is used to emphasize the intent.
Finally I give the effect of the chosen plan of build based on the combination as a whole.
"and declare its purpose as a competition appliance is asking for catastrophic valve train failure and or a blown headgasket."
Does that clear anything up for you? Further, do you seriously think ANYBODY else who read my post would make the mistake of thinking long tube headers BEND pushrods?

Wow- this post took a serious turn for the worse- I had no idea aksing some folks what hp they thought I'd make would create such a shyt storm. I've been to the dyno plenty guys- PLENTY. Just havent had the time to with this car YET. Of course I intend to have it tuned- put some bigger injectors, yada yada yada.
But operating/maintaining/owning/driving/financing two race cars that compete not only nationally but also globally is a daunting task to say the least.
All I was hoping to do is see if anybody had similar setups and any results. Glad I gave so many haters a chance to show how smart they are.

so what was the point of you even posting "and no exhaust"??? were you just going for effect and flamboyancy? What is the "no exhaust" causing or effecting??? If nothing, then why throw it in there with everything THAT IS causing and effecting?

It (no exhaust) is a simple link in a chain of poor performance choices on a computer controlled engine combination. The entire post is based on the reader's understanding on how that system and its corresponding team of sensors and meters work synergistically. This understanding, combined with the common knowledge of the ramifications of poor valvetrain geometry and inadequate fuel mass planning for the engine combination stated gave rise to that post. If you would like for me to explain further feel free to pm me.
