damn butt dyno...is it lying? and header install thoughts...
Well, the way I look at it, it's all about TORQUE. At least that's what I
tell myself as I rumble up a steep grade @ 1900 rpm in fifth on the ass of
a Honda that really should have downshifted a few more gears to make it to
the top.
I don't think Klaus is doing too badly though - and with just a few little
tweaks you can get that 1.6 from 83 bhp up to 110 bhp (lessee, get some
diesel pistons and mill em' down to 13:1, get a fat cam, port and polish,
euro dual downpipe, 2" exhaust...)
At least your 1.6 is starting out at 83bhp - mine started out at 70... :(
