I think we are burnt out for arguments, we just need some magazine comparison testing.

The 545 has 325 peak hp and 330 peak ftl/lbs. The 535 has 300 hp and 300 ft/lbs, but its the area under the curve through the rev range that make the 535 competitive to the 545/550.
+1....We need some side by side dyno comparisons on the same day on the same dyno.
