Default I was on this sight when it first started,took a braek from boats to make a living.

""could be interprited"". This phrase is an assumption. This remindes me of the good old outboard days.

The Bulldog has a relatively mild flat tappet cam,
the same cam that is used in the HP465 ( 502 based)
where the HP500 uses a more agressive hyd. roller cam.

JC knows the secrets to make a 540 produce big numbers and run forever - white sox and loafers, some duct tape, and a reach-around!

Well Pit, I re-read your posts.....and yes post 12 and 15 you started your smart --- I know more than you guys stuff. Then you got hammered on. Any ways, Like Tyler said, Tyler, JC, Zul, and myself are all friends here and on the water ect. We all talk to each other almost on a weekly basis and even share information between us. We are all here to help people through our experiences of building, testing, running and racing what we build. Everyone has their own opinion on things, but anything we can do to help people make the correct choice with their investment is what we are here to achieve. And as you can see we all stick up for the other! Peace brother.
