Yes I do remember and NO I don't subscribe..
Speaking in absolutes is a fools errand in any context.
I always strove to maximize power and be smart enough to
apply it effectively. Bruce's #3170 is an example and so is Morris' KMP. Both make well in excess or 535 HP. Those guys are light-years ahead of me certainly and 98% of the forum. But I go to school on their work.
Sunshine always wants to exude authority in the 'correctness' of his car and any pronouncements (such as your example) he makes. Lack of an open mind is like living in a dim room.
