With all due respect, Tom...this is going to head down the same path as the Hudgens' proposal regarding Cobras...some folks have a different way of doing things. You build cars for big blocks and originality, Hudgens builds them for small blocks, etc.

Dave, I agree there may be differences in dynos, temps, etc. That's why I suggested a reasonable margin of error. I sure hope various calibrated dynos are not that far off from each other.

A 10-20 horsepower or foot pounds difference is certainly understandable.

Maybe a shootout in the future would be a good thing, but I surely would think a fairly quick run of the same motor on two different calibrated dynos would resolve any doubts in the near term.

KISS...Keep It Simple, Stupid (an approach, not a dig at anyone).

Hey, not trying to pressure anyone. If Drew and Keith don't want to do it to resolve questions about what they post, it is certainly understandable. No matter what, it's good to see that we have folks out there pushing the envelope on making power for the rest of us to enjoy.
