I DID NOT leave disappointed at all.........

He said he has dynoed a ton of supposedly 600hp pump gas motors that barely made 400hp and made for some very angry owners........

Keith;even as such, you still have one heck of a motor and car, if YOU are satisfied with the performance, that's all that counts, regardless of any dyno #'s..........

I am satisfied with the car by all means, i just wanted to make sure i got what i paid (57k) for..... it sounds like i did and i just need to have it looked over. It has a big hesitation when you get on throttle... not sure if sitting for two years had any effect on lines or pump. The carbs were rebuilt though. we'll see but i'm more optimistic after all the help on here.
