Of course, all dynos aren't created equal, but I will say 200 rwhp.

My '88 3.2 with 10.3:1 compression, SW chip, SSIs and low-restriction exhaust pulled 201 rwhp (with a non-functional WOT switch).

I'll guess 211HP at the wheels, if the dyno isn't too overly-happy.

Alrighty - moment you've all been waiting for!!!!!!!

As a recap:
Stock 3.2 motor besides the following parts
- Steve W ported TB
- Custom 1 5/8th" high flow headers w/ heat boxes
- Dansk 2 in 2 out sport muffler
- Steve W off the shelf tune ***

***Before I share the results, note that the Steve W tune my car is running is the off the shelf tune specifically for a 3.2 with cats and a sport muffler. I'm not running cats, nor the stock headers, and the dyno charts prove this. Austin who was running the dyno at Ed Pink also called this out right after the first pass as he saw the AFR's lean out from 6300-6800. Note the circled section on the dyno graph*

So next steps will be doing a custom Steve W tune for this setup specifically, and he's confident theres another 5-6 hp on the table ones the AFR's get set properly. Will report back when thats done both before and after the cam/tune from Steve.

Ok!

2 pulls:
Pull 1: 217.52 WHP @6,000 - torque 194 @4,600
Pull 2: 216.5 WHP

I'm incredibly happy with the results, especially knowing theres a few hp on the table when I get Steve out for a private sesh on the dyno! Dollar for horsepower, I think this is about the best you can do. My hope is to land at ~235whp with a cam & tune next and call it a day... for now.

If you have any questions about the package I'm running feel free to reach out. I'll check everyones guesses and pick a few winners! That was fun
