So today was in a way 'the day' - the long awaited dyno testing.
Last year, the car made the following:
173bhp and 240 lbs @ 12psi
This year, the following was changed and/or modified:
- 3" intake
- 3" madrel-bent exhaust
- cometic MLS headgasket
- stronger valve springs
- forged valve followers
- improved P&P of the cylinder head
- F20 gearbox (instead of F16). This gearbox has longer gear ratios, and stronger gears. Also, the power loss on this unit is between 45-55hp.
Test was happening in the following environment:
Temperature: 27 C (79 F)
Pressure: 27.46 in-Hg
Elevation: 2200 ft
RPM limit: 6500
Spark plug: NGK GR5 .040 gap
MSD Master coil
Stock engine management
The initial run at 12 psi generated 185.36 wheel hp and 239.06 lbs of torque with 10 deg base timing. The camgear was set to 0.
2nd run - 1 degree camgear retard:
- 186.78hp / 241.44 lbs
3rd run - 1 degree camgear advance
- 191.16 hp / 240.32 lbs
4th run - 2 degree camgear advance
- 193.19 hp / 245.09 lbs
5th run - 3 degree camgear advance
- 191.41 hp / 246.46 lbs
After this run, the camgear was reset to 2 degrees advance.

193.19 hp / 245.09 lbs at the wheels running 12 psi of boost.
Considering 50hp loss due to the gearbox, the power at the crank is:
243.19 hp and 295.09 lbs. I am estimating this should be good for about 13.8 - 14.4s 1/4 mile run
