    There has been SOOOOO much bickering over the new ThorHammer and its potential performance. I just want to set the record straight as to the original source of the data and the data itself.

    I was the one who originally reported the very first dyno run with the ThorHammer prototype. As the pulls were being run, I was literally on the phone talking to Scott (Hammer Motorsports) and the dyno technician at the shop talking about it.

    There was no opportunity for anyone to analyze the numbers. They were just making extremely early observations, which I forwarded in a thread (post 47) on another site. The intent of posting such preliminary results was to generate excitement for a product I had been lobbying Hammer Motorsports for.

    Unfortunately, the "+40 tq" number was seized upon by some on that site and, later, here. This was done in hasty fashion without regard to the stated nature/circumstances of the data. My one post which reported the first early results was turned into a "claim" by Hammer Motorsports. Clearly, Hammer Motorsports never did make such a claim.

    Since then, Lance (Hammer Motorsports) has been defending their company against this misinformation. I can't say I blame Lance's eroding patience in this regard.
