Hi guys,
I just got sad news. My rebuilt (to) 2-liter engine with headers, free flow muffler, mega squirt fuel injection and MSD / Petronix ignition was just on the dyno today. 80 HP at the wheels. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I reckon this means something like 100 coming from the engine (?)... Can you knowledgeable experts out there offer some thoughts on this please? The headers were from OBX, bought, by the way, before I knew they were a knock-off of Kerry Hunter's product. The valves were adjusted and plugs are new. I do not have leak down or compression numbers at the moment but assuming they are what they should be, what do you think his thing should be putting out? If we are under what you think it should be, do you have any suggestions? Is there a way to easily improve air intake? Thanks for your time! M.i.M. |

Maybe it's metric horsepower? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
