I came up with the same Cu Inch figure you do, I wonder how my calculator got the 2.77 from..... simple head math shows it's less than 2HP... I blame my macintosh.....

yup, I sell and trade in them, amazing systems really, like our MB's quality and single source for hardware... it's when you get "lowest bidders" making parts that machines get screwy
