I have read big names Shafiroff, Reher Morrison etc. have sold motors that ended up no so great, I saw where a 540 from Shafiroff was sold as 695 hp and the buyer wasn't happy with the performance and pulled the motor out and took it to a dyno on his own and claims the hp was 150 less than advertised, It seems to me none are real honest about the advertised figures no matter who the builder is. I'm hoping for some replies that have had motors built by someone honest, Seems like word of mouth may be the best route to go here. I am looking for a 540 with 700 or so hp but needs to be streeable. Thanks
