This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

Sweet!
Is this sort of test done with an already run in engine? If not, wouldn't HP and torque increase once the rings bed in? I really don't have a clue about dynoing new engines...but I want to know more!!!

It should be... run-in, torqued and tappets etc set for perfect performance

yeh they spent a lot of time running in and dyno tuning, CB broke the cam they were using on the saturday on the dyno. They pulled it down and changed the cam for a borrowed different one ready for the sunday. Had to totally retune for that cam on the day
Clyde Berg's was real impressive as its running 7.5:1 comp. The cb engine was running 13:1 I believe, big comp for a street engine.
