Kevin,

The builder in Calif claiming 370 hp is Performance = Aero=20 Engines. They do that on all of their large bore normally=20 aspirated Lyc/Cont engines with the 10:1 pistons. To my = knowledge,=20 they do not dyno the motors and have no way to verify = the hp=20 that they stamp on the engine's data plate. I'd be very wary = of the=20 hp claim unless you personally see it on a dyno or get a printout from a = dyno=20 run. I don't believe they can provide one.

If you want to be sure, Barrett Performance Engines in = Tulsa does dyno their engines and will give = you a=20 printout of the data from it. Whatever they tell you, you can take = to the=20 bank.
