I can tell when I talk to Jerry about power he kind of says that I will be very happy with the how this engine will perform but is hesitant to quote any numbers at this time. He is really about the whole package with a high priority of reliability. He thinks all of us internet car nuts focus too much on flow numbers and dyno sheets. He's probably correct. So, I'm not even speculating on the actual power and torque at this point and just cross my fingers we get some good numbers after its in the car and Mick sets the tune for me.
He is right, but there is a reason why the interweb is so hung up on numbers - it's quantifiable. It is something you can associate to... saying the car is badass is one thing, but to say it is bad ass with 450chp, then they have something to compare with.
