After re reading what *I* typed out, I realized that I left out an 
important item too. Grain of salt time, caps and chap ettes...

Every engine is different.  Every dyno pull has the potential for 
misleading the end user my manipulation of the data. If we all drove 
dynos [or, FTM, computer dyno programs or Summit / Jeg's catalogs] we'd 
all be making 10,000 HP and spinning the Earth on every launch.

That said, I read the proferred web page info with great interest, and 
will be following SDS's future efforts (and GAMI's) with an eye out for 
anything I've missed. Isn't a day goes by I don't try to learn something 
new, or add to my databank files... keeps me on my toes.

>>I remember hearing about that little "disinformation effort" too.

If there was ever a more devilish or determined man, I haven't met him 
yet.  IME, Smoke would go out of his way to plant an idea (real or 
dreamed up) and then see how far it got in the press (right OR wrong). 
He actually delighted in the fact that some of his "dreamwheel 
creations" appeared on competitor vehicles the next race event !  I try 
to carry out a little deception with my own cars to this day in his 
honor... keeps 'em guessin'.

For a guy who earned the Official title of "NASCAR's Cheatin'est Crew 
Chief" before he parted ways with the HiPo Taxi set, and someone who had 
good feelings for VERY few automotive journalists in general, I would 
expect no less than 110% deflection, and 200% Get Outta The Way from Mr. 
Yunik !

Gotta go make some dinner - ya'll be good
