My senior year of college I picked up a sweet '79 Malibu from a little old lady sporting the mighty 262 V-8. A real fire breather! Matched only by the 260 Olds V-8 I had in '76 442. It was a factory 5-speed car that ran faster in 4th gear than 5th because the motor couldn't pull the tall gear.

Nope. 1976 Olds Cutlass 442 with a 260/Dual-Jet and a factory 5-speed. It was blue with the lower part of the fenders/doors/quarters painted white with "442" in blue on the doors.

Good question, There nothing wrong with Bob Madera, but he had questioned some dyno numbers I put out a few years ago, based on the fact he did not understand how the dyno corrects data, at that point he has never admitted the dyno numbers were correct, this started the problem, now when you machine/ build/ and develop engines you dont want hear it from a guy that has had very little hands on engine experiance, now that being said, Ive allways wanted to get Bob, or Bill into a dyno shoot out,

Bottom line Power Numbers sell enignes. . .hell they sell cars. What would be the fun in comparing the Z06's interior comfort to the M3's!!! Automotive advertising and marketing caters to our needs of power. Dyno figures in our industry are used the same way. . .to sell engines. A dyno I agree is nothing more then a tuning tool. It allows any engine builder the ability to check, change, and develop power to fit a customers needs. When knobs are turned, false data inputed, then it becomes a marketing tool.

So theres still some question about the dyno numbers, Bob you told me to present you with the data so you can decide if the numbers are right, I would very much like to take you up on that, I would appreciate it.
