Well, mine is a heap of parts right now so I wasn't driving it.  If I had 
been I probably still would not have had it dyno'd for a few reasons....

1)  If I did I would then have a real (and painfully low) answer for people 
who ask me how much power it's got... I'd rather tell them it was 140 before 
I souped it up and let them conjure delusions of 250hp in their heads.. all 
while I remain silent....

2)  Someone ran a supercharged late model grand prix on the dyno... the 
crowd was all rude comments and jeers because it was under 250hp and not 
impressive to watch/listen to after the long line of 400 and 500 hp muscle 
cars that came before it....   My ego would have taken a nasty hit from the 
spectators.

3) It would cost money!  I'm a Corvair owner... im cheap <gg> (and more 
importantly broke)

(on that note I suggested to an artist who was selling cool prints at the 
show that he should make a Corvair painting.... he responded that he had 
considered it, but Corvair owners are too cheap to buy any of them! LOL!)
