Just purely from a consumer advocate's point of view, and I do this often as many know here, notwithstanding Patrick sounding off about inflated dyno numbers, I would think engine parts combinations are fairly well-known at this point. Intuitively, you would think there's a well-known combination of "a+b+c" = 600HP.

My apologies, seriously, I'm not trying to be a PITA to anyone. But, I had another poor experience recently when I purchased an item. A completely different situation having nothing to do with cars, but I just get tired of it. So I'm just trying to empathize with you.

Maybe I've reached the "curmudgeon stage." And Patrick can likely empathize with me there, since he's been at this stage for awhile now. I say "likely" because I'm not sure he could show empathy.
