I appreciate your time and responses john.

dynos are a tool used to get a Base line on many things and in our experience a motor off the dyno is one or 2 sizes richer than in real life -- you don't race in a closet --- any way 36 is not enough for me but i have no idea what is in any of your motors -- in years gone by we have dynoed motors almost to the end of its life, to find every last bit so future motors can be just run in for inspection -- i am sure your guy builds the same combo over and over so all the small stuff needed to find has been -- good luck this year hope to get out and come and see you guys this spring / summer hopefully -- jz
