Clearly thought you never get the research done that is need to develop the SVX engine. Take for example cams. On a engine dyno you don't run timing belt covers, and when you want to change the cam its a simple matter. If the engine is in the car you have to pull it, put it back everytime.
I don't know of any serious race engine that has been developed that hasn't spent time on a engine dyno.

Besides a guy needs a hobby to keep him off the streets.
Have a great day.

That would have bee the sole reason to build one for me... I can change a manifold in the car... Change a header in the car... But cams... it can be done w/o pulling the engine but what a PITA!! Good luck!
