No, can't say it does. Maybe it's a 2.88 to 1 rear end and that's just another typo. Let me add a little insight in to the oddities.... Joe L., your engine builder, uses blank form build sheets that he has photocopied over the years. They are fraught with typos. Those typos then get "re-published" by sellers who simply can't recognize the mistakes. Joe will also occasionally "reverse" his letters and numbers -- once you get used to looking for this, things start to make sense. Your engine was put together with really good stuff. SCAT, WiseCo, Elgin, all very good stuff and it looks like your cubic inches are just over 445. That's a build that is similar (size and component-wise) to mine, although I have a solid, flat tappet cam. That engine should be nicely broken in now and, most likely, runs like a top. A very, very fast top.
