but that didn't stop you from flaming my post with nonsense about how you and your friend know more than a world record setting professional engine builder
it's ego's like your that makes rennlist a total waste of time, you can't get any information on it anymore, all you get are a bunch of ego's trying to sell their products by posing as an expert and putting others down who dont agree with you...
it's a common marketing technique that is used from time to time
ive been on this board since the 90's and seen guys like you come and go

really what do you get out of stalking my thread with numerous off-topic put downs?
its amazing that you and your gang didn't even stick to the topic once, just logged in and started to destroy my well intentioned topic with BS... read the subject, i was asking about the limits of the stock parts...
this means that i was not asking :
1) if i can or can't make X amount of HP
2) what i can or can't do
3) who I should ask a question from
4) if you think you know more than a mulit-word record holding engine building legend
5) if you think the post is some explicative
6) for you to post pictures of cats
7) for you to qualify the worth of my post
my questions are valid and you nor your gand of friends have to place qualifying their worth like you are holier than thou
if you don't know just don't respond, its simple
anymore flames are clearly blatant harassment and are in violation of the TOS of this site, thank you

$6000 for a billet block... would be for something that is very popular and would be already drawn on the computer.
I have a machine shop.. and for me to draw up every detail of the 944 block and work out ways to make it stronger, it will take more then $6000 to even get the design on to a screen. let alone a cnc. Material isn't cheap either.
There's so many cost factors you're missing.
We don't care what bob norwood did, or has done. Doom lasten for 24 minuts.. wow!? not really. that was 14 years ago..
If any of the engine builders here had the money im sure they could build a 1000 hp 944 and make it last 24 minuts also.
What's the point of that? i don't see no point. not even bragging rights. what would you say? "my engine did 1000 hp" so where is it now? "in the bin, it lasted 24 minuts"

4th waste of time posting, you're doing great keep it up really contributing to this wonderful source of information that is rennlist
ive been on this board since 1997/98 i think... back when real experts used to post on here... now all you get are people who put together parts and sell you something.

Man this place has really gone down hill since Bob Norwood, did stuff Bob Norwood did. Breaking records only Bob Norwood could years ago. How much wood could Bob Norwood chuck if a Bob Norwood could chuck wood? The answer is, Bob Norwood is amazing and everyone else is not Bob Norwood. Bob, Bob Norwood.
There is that post better?

you said that there was no info about that car yet you know how long it lasted and the condition of the motor after it was used? how do you know that it wouldnt have lasted 100 years? you don't... you have a machine shop, you are not a world class engine builder with world record times, please stop pretending to be in that class...
you're off topic again, the post is about STOCK PARTS
but since you brought it up... let me tell you are are no Bob Norwood... that just makes me laugh...
yes his $500,000 968 was made 14 years ago, think about it... that just means that he's at least 14 years better than you or I will ever be at making world record setting engines... did you even read his site? world records with ferrari's, lambos, custom drag cars, mr2's, etc. etc. and when he beat some speed records he smashed them by the likes of 100mph or more... the previous record holders couldnt believe it...
if he made the fastest 944 ever 14 years ago then just think how much more he knows now, how much more than you and me he knows
and i'm not an idiot (you must think I am so now you know I'm not), did you think i thought that anyone would provide free parts and materials for me? come on, really? I was just showing how you were wrongin your statement on how making a billet block was crazy expensive, $5995 doesn't sound too bad...
I'm just learning here but please spare me the B.S.

Bob Norwodd doesnt call the wrong number, you fools answer the wrong phone.
Ghosts sit around the camp fire telling stories about Bob Norwood.
There used to be a street called Bob Norwood, but they had to change it as no one crosses Bob Norwood and lives.
Bob Norwood can cut through a knife with hot butter

How do you know who i am or who i'm not?
How do you know i don't have more knowledge then bob norwood?
How do you know i didn't build a 2000 rwhp Aventador?
A mate of mine built the most powerful RB30ET motor ran on LPG in the world. Is he bob norwood? no. Does it make him a legend in the engine building world? no
stock rods are good for 400rwhp even 450rwhp
no one as far as i know has snapped a crank. no one has tried to break a crank so we don't know
And remember it's torque that breaks things, not horsepower.
There's different amount of torque at 10,000 rpm and 5000 rpm for the same amount of horsepower.

do you have 137 world records? did you win Can Am? Bob Norwood did, Bob Norwood probably is Chuck Norris.
Who is Bob Norwood?
BobNorwood has 137 listings in the Guinness Book of Automotive World Records. Creative thinking and technical insight have led to his many innovative developments in the areas of supercar and high-performance automotive design.
Needing a place to race, Norwood decided upon Indy. His crew finished 4th, at the Long Beach Grand Prix, was DNF at Phoenix and finished 16th at the 1985 Indy 500. Crawford drove all races.
He has successfully raced alcohol and nitro funny dragsters, raced motorcycles, raced Cam AM, raced and researched the outer limits of nitrous and oxygen as super oxidizers. The salt flats of Bonneville, Utah gave Norwood three records, two that he still owns, despite eleven years and numerous attempts to break them.

I know you didn't build anything worthwhile because of how you talk, you'd just say to a customer or yourself... can't be done, sorry just face it your engine has certain charateristics and they can't be changed, just be happy with what you have. You talk yourself out of everything before you even try it.
And based on your numbers there's no need to change stock rods because no one I've seen is getting more than 450rwhp in a 944 base.
