hammertime,if you talked with the owner of one of those shops and told him you wanted a 1000+hp engine and he give you a written estimate for $14,500.00.And when you called him you did not question his price,only ask him if he would GUARANTEE it make a 1,000+ hp and he replied YES I PUT IT ON THE INVOICE,it will make closer to 1,050-1,060 hp. And with that GUARANTEE you give him half the $$$ at that time & when finished paid him the rest. If the engine only made 847 hp,would you be satisfied?
That's what this is about not the price.
He advertises his 1,000+hp engines on here for $10,500,ad# 1418969,but as you will see when the dyno sheets are posted their engines don't make what they advertise.
Thanks everyone for all the Help & Input!
