I've been to Keith's shop several times and the last time we watched a 363 sb being dyno'ed. I ask the operator to make one pull at 2000 and he did. I have pics of the sheet but don't remember what it was. I do remember the last pull was 499.5 hp and I asked if he was going for 500. He said no! That's good enough.

Of course when the customer installs his own air filter, headers, side pipes, etc the numbers will change.

I think they prove the motor runs and it's close to the numbers they want and that's good enough.
