Good post Mike. I've always enjoyed seeing people post their Levi's Dyno impressions.
It's especially fun to think about those who believe they'll get an extra 20 hp from headers, 10 more from the K&N filter, 15 more from the electronic ignition, 5 more from changing engine paint color, and so on, and so on.................... Add them all up..............who needs a supercharger?
I had a mildly built 440 a few years ago. Never dyno'd it, but one of my employees ran it through his Mr. Gasket Computer Dyno. Came back with something around 420 hp!!! While the car ran pretty well, I seriously doubt it was anywhere near that big of a number. But hey.........................the computer said so, right??

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
