Now, Mike, agree today's drag engines don't spend enough hours on the dyno to repeat reliably within seven horsepower. However, OEM engines spend hours at full throttle and seven horsepower equates to a 6% increase for the old 232" iron. Even on an eight-hundred-horsepower Cup engine, you know well the engine builders would spend however many hundred thousand dollars you asked if you could guarantee them seven more reliable horsepower than the best they are doing for next week's three-hour race.
thnx, jack vines
