Now if Rod's 605HP number is with open pipes, and maybe a few "adjustments' factored in on the dyno, he could be well down in to the low 500's with an "apples to apples" dyno run like mine. You can play a lot of games with dyno numbers... a lot of games.
You're far more delusional that I thought if you think your 445 makes similar HP as my 482. Bigger cam, bigger cubes and weighs a lot less.

I would say "talk to the hand", but instead, I'll tell you to talk to Chas. He'll better explain it to you.
