It isn't AIR that they pull it out of.

That's theoretic hp. Displacement of engine, timing numbers, and is referring to if it were 100% volumetric efficient and no loss in friction. Just a computer number.

I dont know whats a scarier thought, the fact that you planned to send a grown married man pictures of your ass, or the fact that you actually have pictures of your ass

Hey Neal thanks for the reply. A few questions, I hope you don't mind.

Is this box stock, or with the head adjusted?
2057 Pipe, with or without extension?
Any other data you can share? Plug,Fuel?

Hope all is well.

Kind Regards,
Ed
