There is a difference between "SFI 6.1 rated" and "passed SFI testing."

To comply with SFI 6.1 rules, the bellhousing must be bolted along the bottom perimeter.

To pass SFI testing, the bellhousing must only contain a flywheel explosion at 10000 rpm.

I don't work for Quicktime. If you want proof of the tests, then please ask Quicktime (now part of the Prestolite company). As for myself, that's the only proof that I need. If Quicktime says that it passed SFI testing, then I have to take that at face value.

However, I do not blame the bellhousing for the incident that occurred to this guy's Boss 557...

I suppose we could recreate the incident with an SFI 6.1 bellhousing. Anyone have a Boss 557 that they would donate for the testing?
