Pardon my questioning, but until you see the dyno data, it is just a
guess.  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.  
-----------------------

===>  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.  

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.  

Cheers,
Rusty
