Know what Cashburn?
First off- I apologize for the personal insult to your (I think) screen name. Was out of line.
To be clear, I didn't single you out as a Roush dealer to dump on you. You just happen to be the
only one of those that tried to explain/defend the Roush system.
Which also says something.
Let's agree to disagree. You continue your business and I'll continue to encourage non-builders to research power choices and their origins much more carefully.
Having said that, there were no falsehoods in any of my quote. A local SPF assembler allowed about 40 of us (Cobras) to coffee and chat at his shop weekly and I saw pallet after pallet of R's on the floor with the manila tags on the distributor.
Further, I used to market and write all tech for a HP crate engine outfit that used only their own castings.
427 Windsor: 525 HP: solid cam: pump gas:$10,295.
460 Windsor: 600 HP: roller cam: pump gas: $12,195
427 Windsor DRAG 630 HP: solid roller: race gas: $10,995
Aluminum blocks were a $2500 option. Could get the whole thing polished for $1300 more. Oh and Accel DFI was a $3500 option. Still not near any Roush numbers, am I?
Those were always conservative HP numbers 'cause if you sent one out that made 599HP instead of 600 they'd send it back *****ing.
They routinely made 540, 620 and between 680 and 718 HP respectively.
They went to the customer needing a water pump and fuel pump only. Warrantied 2 years.
So I didn't lie and I know what parts cost from the build sheets which I compiled and advertised.
Let's live to fight another day.
