All it needs is 50 extra HP and 70# of torque to be transformed. Thats easy.

The ONLY way I judge my engine son the dyno is average HP and torque. These peak values mean zilch, zero, nothing to me. I can't grade myself on peak values, but most every other soul in the world looks straight at the peak values and nothing else.

When exporting the values and then averaging them, thats when the engine really shines, as it takes 100% of the RPOM range into account. Note how low we pull the engine during the test compared to everyone else, thats why. Sometimes I will pull at WOT from 1,000 RPM, and the engine will do this without a single hiccup.

Thanks Duncan!- It has some needed cleanup work with the wiring/fuses under the dash and switch work (mainly cosmetics). That is next up on the project list.

Short audio clip.
