I was just asking... I will ask him as I am curious about it if it did indeed do 400whp/380whp on our dyno. Thanks.

Is that Seans old car?

If so then somehow the HP has gotten mixed up as last I remember it span the rollers to 33Xwhp on C16.

That is Sean's old (totalled) car. It did exactly 334WHP on our dyno. He did run an 11.9 on c16.

Or I never saw dyno sheets and just listened to what the owner told me.

This is the quote under the picture of his car, made by the owner
"The outside of 500hp...my old ride"

I was told it was at one time close to 400whp.
