Verne is right....I think somebody was &quot;under reporting&quot; the power of this mouse. Perhaps Eric can shed some light since he added the little winky guy [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] to his post next to the hp figure?

I'll bet about half of the reason that Chevelle runs as well as it does is that it's not quite the porker most people would expect it to be. Less weight means you go fast on tiny horsepower, but 373 horses out of a 230 horse rated 283 is nothing to sneeze at. Kudo's to the owners and engine builders on the super low et.
