Wow, I guess you don't visit the HBF or Baja Planet forum? Lunatik has an extensive thread showing dyno results of some major players, albeit with some controversy...but he seems to be the only person with a calibrated dyno that's willing to test all of the motors out there. He may have been a little harsh on his assumptions about these $1000 motor's claims but so would I...
I don't like that forum it is biased. Since there is no agreed upon industry standard for measuring hp there will always be debates over the figures. Companys use different dynos. In my opinion dynos give you an indication of the hp of an engine under perfect conditions the true test is the real world the track. If I had a dno I would mostly use it as a tool to measure any performance gains on modifications I made to my motor.
