Here's a quick lesson. BEFORE you go to the dyno shop, check to make sure that the throttle blade goes to WOT when you push the pedal to the floor. To be honest, we never did. First full pull was 331 rr whl hp. WHAT? then, we adjusted the cable/linkage to get full throttle (I felt like a 6 yr old that spilled the milk). Next pull, 428 hp. After a bit of tuning, 443 hp, 468 ft./lb. Crap, i've been running all year on about 5/8 throttle. I will say, it's a lot faster now. So, check the simple things. Have a great weekend.
