This is all true but what I disagree with is figures that offer the newbie here an expectation of highly exaggerated hp ratings.
I think we should be grounded in our numbers and not offer pie in the sky numbers that will lead to disappointment after spending time and good money trying to achieve these fictional goals.

We have a member who claims gross hp of 270 to 290 and yet has only admitted to 193 hp on the EC dyno and hints of secret mods. I think this is truly misleading to a newbie here.
Or am I missing something?
