Please don't be surprised. You have a belief based on a simple formula and limited knowledge of my engine. Your belief is not mine.
Let's assume for the moment my 482 engine makes 560 HP and Lippy's makes 690 HP, using your standard formula of 8% deduction and addition, do you think Lippy or Dimis will use and feel the difference for the extra money and maintenance and reduced reliability? Again, I think these numbers are BS, but I would still say they're negligible in the big scheme of their Cobra's life.
Let's just say, my puny 482 does just enough to make the CLAIMED extra 130 HP to be superfluous.
