Well, now, it's not so gray, Trader.
EM stated in the ad that it pulled to " over 8500". Which is a claim. He did NOT say it pulled to 8500 on an old possibly inaccurate tach.
So, thats where a dyno comes in. Controlled environment, and documentable RPM traces. Easy to read and publsh. it either goes to 8,500, or it doesn't. That's pretty simple. Anything else is just not conclusive.
He also claimed it was the "correct" motor for an S. Well, thats simple to. He disn't say it was a "Correct motor except for the lightended valvetrain, and pistons and compression and cams"...he succinctly stated it was "the correct motor".
Simple, right?
So, i agree that verification that his car does 165MPH...with the top OUT...is pretty much impossible.
And the race the turbo thing is completely ludicrous, as lanch technique, driver skill and the proper running condition of the cars is, at this point, impossible to verify.
So, what we're left with is the simple claim of a "correct S" engine pulling over 8500 RPMs repeatedly.
If it doesn't pull a verified 8500, then the claim is BS.
IF it DOES, we are impressed, but will be left with the most likely conclusion that it is not a "correct S" engine.
Again, the result will be that the original claim is BS.
