Is there a dyno in Seattle?
I'm not sure what you are asking. I went with Dane and a few other guys to Kirkland. Torque and HP at the rear wheels turned out to be about 174 on my car, which translates to about 205 at the crank if drive loss is 15%. It's easy for me to remember these events since my car had just a tad more torque than the other cars. One of the other cars was a 3.2 Carrera.

Two side notes: The AFR was perfect on my car. Also, the dyno operator STARED at the torque/hp printout. He said it looked like a classic V8 curve. The credit for that goes to the 20/21 cams.

So, as I say, if someone were to put 98mm P&C's in my car with 9.8:1 CR, I wouldn't be surprised to get 235 hp at the crank.
