It's also well known that M2 numbers are underrated. Only dyno runs done back to back on the same machine and same day/conditions can prove that with certainty. In other words, I'll believe the B58 has close to or the same HP when I see it.

The open vs closed deck argument may be settled, but we may have a new contender on our hands!
