Badbird- FWIW, the engine dyno we used back then was known to be generous.
Interesting though, if I remember correctly the Performance Trends Engine Analyzer program suggests it made more than what the dyno said.
(peak numbers are nice but I'm just as interested where the torque and power curve are when we dyno a motor)
