Now for another controversial topic - engines...

I just watched my engine get dyno tested.  It is a normally aspirated 
IO-550N EXP with 10:1
compression and magnetos.  It made 325 hp at 2700 RPM.

There is an engine builder in California that claims 370 hp.  I have a 
question for those who have this engine:

    - Are you sure you are getting 370 hp?
    - Have you seen the dyno test?
    - Do the recent Reno race results support the claim?

I have been lead to believe that the answers to the above questions are: no, 
no and no.

Flame suit on,
D. Brunner
