Agreed, maybe on a dyno you might see a few(tiny bit) hp, but nothing your but meter will notice.. I would be more pissed I ahd to dent it, rather then the little hp it may take away...

Why did you put a dent in the primary to clear the steering column? You could have loosened up the power steering box and adjusted it so the steering column would rotate on a tighter axis and not hit the primary.

All you would have had to do after that is get an alignment.
