wanna bust his cherry...tell him to put it on a chassis dyno, pick a parasitic loss number, say 17% which is commonly used. tell him then that 540 engine hp would equate to 448 rear wheel hp using a 17% loss figure. if it gets 448 or higher you pay for the dyno (here about $125 ), if it is less, then its his lesson and his cost .! that will pick the flycrap out of the pepper and most likely humble him severely. saw this done once, laughed my butt off as the rwhp was woefully short of what the guy 'claimed' to have in the engine ! b
