[750hp]

A few years back, I had a supercharged stroker 351W engine built in the States, then shipped it out to Australia and had it tuned over here. The dyno guy was a well respected tuner, but I went in there full of bravado, initially saying that I wanted to see "x" horsepower and I wanted him to do what was necessary to get there.

The way Brent has explained his thought process in this thread is really similar to the way the dyno guy explained it. To highlight his point, he said I could beat up the motor at the low end and high end of the rpm range (with the chance of me taking it home in pieces) just to get an impressive dyno chart, or he could do it his way and supply me with a perfectly tuned, reliably, understressed motor.

I quickly chose to talk less and listen to the expert...
