Re: Noise tomorrow (I think)

Mike,
As always, thanks for the kind words. I'm posting the product page link but first a word about the data. The iron block version is # 102081, this aluminum version has the "A" suffix after the part number. You will see that both are "only" rated at 625HP and 610LbFt. yet you see 668HP on that sheet above. The reason is that Bill is very conservative about our power ratings. After we've built several engines of a spec, and have a broader base of information we "lie" (in a good way) so that no one ever receives an engine that doesn't make it's rating. As a marketing guy I would love to publish bigger numbers. However, our experience is if we advertise the highest numbers all the time, and a guy got one that "only" made-say, 660, we'd get a call and be villified. The Limited Editions with our Man O'War heads regularly make 625 to 640 (on a 600 rating) and these CHI gems are easily 30HP more. (rated 625).
I'm really anxious to see what the 8.2 Deck version will do at 375 inches.
The specs you can find by clicking "Build Sheet" and the price-well first give you wallet an anesthetic, and then strap on your seatbelt...
