I see 1.7L spec's all over the place, several list 80HP but some say 69 saw one stating 86 what gives ? All say Top End is 110mph but I just had my 1.7L at 110 and had some pedal left ?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) ,wrong tyre profile perhaps ? may be worth checking a tyre size calculator.
Engine output for ROW cars was higher due to different higher compression pistons from what I researched,my last 1.8 build using NOS pistons were high tops with 5cc dome from European FI 411 motor but the case ran a carb cam.
