I just had a scary thought...

What if Short-Throw's engine is so powerful, it breaks the dyno. My engine is up next on that machine.

Nawww they found it made 700 hp, but then realized it was only working on 6 cyclinders.

Hey guys. Initial data has shown us that we want to add a couple more features to Mike's engine and that is the reason for the delay. These features will not affect horsepower.

So since those features will not add to the HP, what is the reading since it has made at least one pull, correct? Or does that not make it official since the engine is not really 100% finish?

Or just say it, "we will tell you the results after this commercial break"

It was not ran with the Motec system or the different intake manifold we will be testing so power numbers will be different.
