We've battled with the idea of a rating system for the engine power here. The engines we have dynoed out have all been done with the front accessories (alternator, belt), proper waterpump, actual carb you get on the motor etc. and the numbers seem less impressive than other builders (600hp pump gas small blocks really?)... but then you take those other motors and put them on the same dyno with the parts they show up with and suddenly, well you get the picture.

X is a great motor, I love driving them. Our new R offering pushes it a little further. We owe these other guys for all the research over the years, but want to optimize it for everyone.
