I think Ernie's sideoiler made 667 HP with open headers, 12.5 CR and not one modern component or so he claims.
Now, the Hawaiian dyno operator, may have been similtaneously waxing his surfboard while talking to cute bikini-clad Hula chick and eating his mixed plate lunch, after previously smoking some of those funny cigarettes or something, as he was dyno'ing Ernie's engine, but no matter.
Just kidding Ernie. No diatribes necessary.
I know you engine builders out there sneak a few tricks in there to add HP and claiim it's stock. Just ask the folks who race in the F.A.S.T. class for musclecars.
