Around 100, maybe even 110 HP, i guess ...
Love the Taylors, too. They are a leftover from my 72 Plymouth Satellite project |

I just returned from the dyno. Engine pulls 97 HP @ 5720 RPM and 142 NM @ 3200 RPM with the secondary jets leaning out a little above 4800 RPM.
Most impressive is the torque curve that skyrockets from 1800 RPM.
Will post a video from the dyno session and the data asap! |

| Is that the standard carb you're using there? Nice work, I suppose it cruises well on the autobahn. |

| No, I am using the 32/36 Weber DGV carb ... It makes more power than the standard carb. |
