post from a different site thats got good info
"On Wednesday I received a email from Mike with a surprise, the Dyno run of my new 540. The numbers far exceeded my expectations, 790 HP at 6700 RPM's, Mike's YouTube video "Snyder 2, 800HP 540". The numbers are very impressive using the AFR 315's as recommended by Tony. I don't have all the Dyno data yet and will post it later. Mike is a great guy to work with and very patient, I am a hard person to get in touch with (work in India) and do not always know what I want. I went through some up and downs and false starts but Mike hung in there and waited on me. I may have more than I can handle, but this motor should surly wake up the 66 Corvette (or break it). Can hardly wait to get it shipped, still trying to figure out what clutch will hold this, McLeod??
Anyone who wants to meet an upstanding honest and knowledgable guy, needs to meet and talk with Mike. Mike came highly recommend and worth the wait in time and distance for me (Fla.), he produces a work of art when it comes to building engines.
