hang on, HANG on... that's just rediculous.
a chip, eh?? suppose that the RENESIS could in fact breathe at a higher rpm, and it could make 130lbft way, way up there (which it can't).
350 * 5252 / 135 = 13 616.3 rpm sh'yeah, right.
alright, well, what about every American's favourite metric, torque??
surmise that right near fuel cutoff (a supposed 9300rpm) that max torque is hit:
350 * 5252 / 9300 = 197.66lbft *snicker* oh yeah, that's sooo possible.
the next time you talk to that guy, call him an effin' moron.
