Then, to make claims for these old motors actually exceeding these amazingly high specific outputs from these modern engines demands that they spin even faster. It's simply not possible.

Oh well. These folks seem to believe there is still some hidden "magic" to be found, allowing 2.7's to make 287 RWHP - at 6,800 rpm... They have no understanding as to why that simply isn't so, and get all pissy when challenged. They don't know enough to even carry on an informed conversation. Their engine builder has a secret...

The secret is in the Cool Collar! Also, casters bolted to the underside of the front make the air flow faster and give less wind resistance.

Checkbook mechanics want to believe they have spent their money for something special. A fool and his money are soon parted.

A dyno sheet from a reputable shop will prove the seller is correct.
