Whadaya want? It’s a 912! The stock 912 isn’t known for high horsepower but if you set them up right they will handle real well. You might be able to improve the power and torque some. Make sure that the motor is all tuned up and that you have full throttle. I know the last one seems dumb but incompletely opening throttles are a lot more common that you might think. Compression tests are the most over used and under telling tests out there. Too many things can flaw the validity of the results. A somewhat better indicator of the top end is the leak down test but it too must be done correctly. I have seen motors with somewhat low comp # rip up a track.(for a 912 that is...)
