I got it. Out of the box the 16v makes more power everywhere than the 8v.
Thats pretty well understood.

Are you still getting 123hp? Are you sure?  :)

Some might. I spent less than a grand total on my 84's 8v motor rebuild.
Put 109hp to the wheels. On the 16v im building ive (customer) spent way
more than that already in just parts and machine work. Its all relative
tho.
