Yeah, not cool, so with a small blower like that he just adds 110hp?

Mild Thunder dynoed a pair of 454s just like mine with the cam I requested. They made 590hp.

I am not discounting that with the specified cam, I am discounting the generalization of adding a 110hp on a cam that is much better suited for an NA. The 132561 is a 525sc cam, and would not be a bad choice either. The 110 LSA is sending power out the pipe.

I have a 132561 that came out of the motor before rebuild. I was hoping to pick up hp with the 134561 though.

is that not how it works? the engine in my car started out as a 300 hp crate motor but according to the ads my headers added 50 hp, the intake was good for 25 hp, the carb was good for 10 hp, my roller rockers made an extra 15 hp, the super swirl-a-tron induction added 60 hp and the electric super charger netted me another 100 hp so now I have a 560 hp small block that idles perfect and revs to 8000 rpm. someone on the internet built one just like it and did a youtube video so it must work.

I would say a supercharger is a legitimate power adder.

You spent too much money.

Underdrive pulleys, headers, K&N, and Flowmasters makes it the fastest car in town. Been this way since the Fox body came out.
