Bomb Proven BOMB Combinations

It's no secret that the most common question anyone ever asks is "how can I make xxx hp?" Sure, you can take the "suggested output" of the bombs you are considering and do the old bench racing calculations to come up with some totally random and unproven estimation of how many thousands of horsepower you are going to make, but all too often this number is no where near realistic. So, I'd like to suggest opening up a thread for people to offer their PROVEN (dyno'd) horsepower and torque numbers and the mods used to get them there. No questions. No comments. Just proven setups. And, if the idea is worthwhile, I'd like the help of the Mods to make this a "sticky" so people with that nagging questions of "how do I make xxx hp?" can check the sticky first, then open their own thread further persuing their endevor or PM the person with the most appealing and successful combination in their mind.

This is pretty much a total shot in the dark, but I figured that we all like to see what works first hand, and there are plenty of successful bombers on this site with dyno proven combinations.

So, if you have a dyno ticket and you remember everything you did, post your numbers and your parts list and give all us bench racers something to shoot for. Also, for arguments sake, post the type of dyno if you know what it is.

Mods-
If this is a bad idea, just say so. I'm just trying to get rid of the newbie question that we've ALL asked before we knew any better.

Thanks!

I have installed all the parts myself and the truck was fighting a fuel shutdown solenoid issue on all thoes runs. I do have douts about your numbers ( no offence) but I think that is a huge number for a single 66mm charger with just water meth and a 3k gov spring kit, If I'm wrong I'll admit it but I would just like to see a sheet first. I'm sorry to hear about your accident and hope you get better.

A parts list will not matter if the setup is poor and the variations between different dynos, there are better questions to ask.

you should definetly be making way more power than that imo
i have been drag racing for many years i built several motors and i am building my own diesel drag truck

Agreed. But the point was to develop a thread that would instantly answer some of the most common questions for newbies to the power bug. It was just a shot in the dark...not all my ideas work...

I think is a good idea but I think Smokem is saying don't get all pissy if you don't get those same numbers. I am not a big dyno guy....to many variables and to many different dynos. IMO you are better off to weight the truck and run it at the track and get a time slip. There are fewer inconsistencies with power numbers then.
