<DIV><SPAN class=233534706-17101999><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>Took a
drive up to B.C. (Canada, even) and got the car on the dyno today. Peak
horsepower was 157 at the wheels, about 10% less than I had hoped for but then
again I'm only running 5 PSI of boost. Peak torque was 153 ft-lbs (almost
constant from 4600 to 5000 RPM). Assuming 15% loss through the drivetrain,
peak power would be 180 and peak torque 176.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=233534706-17101999><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>The
wide torque spread is more indicative of how much useable power this engine
makes, with over 120 ft-lbs of torque at the wheels from 2500 RPM on up, over
135 from 3000 RPM to 5800 RPM, and just over 150 from 4200 RPM to 5100
RPM. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
