I'm sure it's possible, I just don't think it's helpful tossing numbers around that haven't been measured. Personally, I can't quite imagine being an engine supplier without having access to dyno to test the product. Of course you can lie with data too. =20 ----------------------- =3D=3D=3D> Of course you're wise to be skeptical Al, but it's = unrealistic to expect a dyno sheet on every engine that's sold at these prices. Also, = as you mentioned, if a supplier wants to inflate the HP numbers, they could give you a dyno sheet to back up any claim they make. I believe Bruce builds a great engine, and I don't believe he's making any wild claims. = I also imagine that he'd be happy to sell engines without giving any HP numbers, but we as customers won't accept that. I'd be willing to bet = that his engine will produce pretty close to what he estimates, given a good tuned intake and exhaust system. =20 Back to the point of the original post, this guy has a great engine for sale, at great price. I've even given some thought to buying it myself, = but I just can't justify having another engine laying around. =20 Cheers, Rusty=20
