Some have given up and gone the LS route, and to a certain degree, why not-it's easy. the 300+ club thing is the only one, that's part of why that's there. It was proposed to create more of them a bit back, but then folks started getting upset about who got to claim what based on _____________, and I don't think the discussion moved from there.

Dana would need to opine on that, but I'm all for it.
gotcha. sometimes easier is just easier.
The reason you don't do this as a volvo tuner is because it isnt a volvo anymore and an entirely different knowledge base is needed to deal with the LS motor. In short it takes more finite skill and cash to push the volvo 4 cylinder to levels well above 300. To me it requires more know how . Throwing an 8 cylinder in it is about the oldest trick in the world to make bodies that originally had a 4 cylinder in it to go faster. I don't really want a volvo that sounds like a Camaro....If I want that Ill buy a Camaro with much better suspension. If the european tuners can extract higher levels from the VOLVO engines why cannot we without GMs help?
I dont get the argument. A certified and verified dyno run video should be valid enuf for anyone but the board is excessive and zany and that continues to be pointed out to you. The other problem with that is the people who have accomplished it trying to keep it an elitist club by denying others who have reached that level into the club without all that extra **** they needed to provide to their superior asses. They take it all more serious than is really is so I'm sure for them God almighty himself needs to sign off for it to be valid. Thats why some of us dont care about it and do not post based on what we have accomplished on a dyno.
