Lol...Frank last night i started to make a post simliar to yours and just deleted it because it got soooo long winded....but i DO AGREE with what you just said...
i DO NOT feel however that every engine needs to be dynoed in order to avoid a meltdown..i have seen them built for years and re-done them myself without dynoing and never melted one down that a dyno session could have avoided..i spun a cam bearing once on start up but this would have happened on the dyno as well....
if you follow the broad ban rules you will be OK...Get stupid and you will pay..... in My opinion the DYNO is a fine tune device...
but i DO AGREE with your post Frank....
and PS..people also have to remember the nature of the beast when dealing with High performance Engines.....there is an element of no gaurantee with these motors...a 650 hp motor falls into what i consider HP.
Even if the Engine builder does go out on a limb and says he will gurantee one...where does the line get drawn...start up...,pass #1, pass #100....
where does the blame become 100% the owner of the motor ?
my 2 cents right or wrong..
