If the 550 HP claimed in your ad, cannot be documented nor proven via a dyno printout, then WHY post it as fact?!...Mark


Frankly, even a dyno printout doesn't really prove much. It always troubles me anytime an ad even contains HP claims, regardless of backup documentation. I much prefer to just see a list of the mods and suppliers used. I'll make my own judgement as to power improvement.
I think the problem with this ad is that the HP claim doesn't even pass the sniff test; a seller just blindly posting whatever is on the 'documentation' loses credibility in my mind. Someone selling a specialty car should have some knowledge of the product, that's all.
If you really want to post "data" a 1/4 mile time slip is much more representative of the car's real world HP performance. Of course, the time slip can be forged, as well...caveat emptor, and all that.
