I've thought about spending the money on a dyno pull or two, to confirm what I think I know... that it should be about 120 hp at the wheels. That's about what the guy that originally built the car was getting, and there have been no significant changes. But the truth of the matter... it is what it is. I can't legally do any meaningful development work beyond what has already been done. There may be a few horsepower hiding in there (additional tweaking of ignition timing, fuel pressure, valve lash, etc.) but probably no more than a few. Just about anything I do at this point is going to end up being a darned expensive power increase, on a dollars-per-hp basis.
