Look at their redlines ( peak RPM) its 5200...ours are at 4800 or better,
They take it to redline, and thats where they get the numbers. Plus, Dynos
measure torque which is converted to hp...hell, I dont know, they still have
to rev higher to get the specs they want. What about torque...they are
probably still at 8.5:1 compression ratio..this was never stated.
