At this point Doug you need to post your specs in the two dyno days one winner thread and join the fun.

What are your target #s
Hmmm numbers, well I didn't specify a number when we started the build.

I specified what I was using the car for;
Road racing = 5-10%
Drag racing = 1-2%
Long highway driving / twisty roads going through the gears = 30-40% +
Local street driving = balance

Plus I have Power steering & A/C

And that I wanted reliability, and to say goodbye to my oiling and bearing woes. I also wanted manners. Choppy = okay, surging popping and rowdy, not so much

Broad nice even torque curve, and to be able to run all day at the track

Based on the engine and components, I have a guess at what those numbers might be, but I don't know the camshaft. Trusting Brent on having a good idea on this.

So based on all that I'd hazard a guess that it'll be 10+ hp and 15+torq over one of those funky tunnel ports LOL

I'd probably have to pull a couple spark plug wires to make it completely fair, for you
