coz the number is bigger :)

And pretty pointless, `measured' that way. :wink:
In the UK several well known chassis dynos (rolling roads) are notorious for reading high. Gets more pub points... :lol:

just look at mini mania...the numbers they reckon their custom engines output...they have a supercharged A+ for $7777 that they say outputs 140+hp...and that its totally streetable! maybe they are being genuine...but i seriously doubt it :P

exaggeration is a pretty stock-standard marketing ploy...i wouldnt trust what a salesman says if my life depended on it...

That's the same Autorotor kit that Link are doing here. I think they quote similar figures, maybe a bit less (on a 1275).
