Default Brazil hp?

A long time ago I read here of a guy who said he heard of a guy in Brazil whose 88in TC made a legit 125+hp. Anyone remember this? THANKS

No, I never assumed anything on this website, or any others truly support private information sharing. Not even with their so-called PM features.

None the less, a legitimate website should not allow "Lurkers" unlimited viewing access without being an actual member. Are there no guardrails at all on this website?
