thats alot to read but ending was pretty crazy. 1500 hp or some shit like that.
edit: no I did not read the entire thing. I was like oh cool, then seen how small the scroll bar was and said fuck this going to the end.

Sweet, it goes from 275 HP at 5000 RPM to 1375 HP at 7000 RPM. So it gains 1100 HP over the course of 2000RPM. That's impressively unusable.

i disagree with the part that says the 4g63 block isnt upto 2000whp.i am pretty sure brent rau is close to 2000whp and he uses a mitsu 4g63.everything else looks like a good time.
