Subject:      Re: Latest dyno run

Jim, thanks for posting these tests.  I'd love to get my conversion on that
dyno for a look.  Best I can do here is G-tech comparative 0-60 runs.  My
setup is estimated at the 135 to 140 range.


What no one has mentioned is the very flat torque curve of the Ford and VS
2.0 litre I4's in mid range rpm.  That makes these motors soo much nicer
than the boxer...and stronger everywhere with respect to torque.  Those
tests also suggest my seat of pants feeling that modifying the auto trans
to peak at 6000 rpm is about 500 rpm too high.  My motor feels like it's
not pulling much stronger after 5500rpm, and that's with a 268 degree cam
in there.


Now if someone with a Tiico "high output" in an auto trans Westy could post
some standing start 0-60 times....
