Picked my car this weekend, just got home... wow. It is crazy now, new dyno numbers are 302 RWHP and 201 Torque. New setup sounds great too, hoping it will be within our limits. Drove 12.5 hours and never turned on the radio so that I could hear the engine...

So, you're saying it runs a lot better when the valves actually open and close? :)

Yes, it is odd but for some reason they seem to be needed. Can't wait to autox it, although I'm very nervous about pelli (curbs and such) may stick to other locales until I get used to it...

302RWHP in that weight of a car must be a blast. My 360RWHP is fun, but I weigh a hell of a lot more. Course what you feel is actually torque. :)

TVS 2300 is on my list of to-do's.

Looking forward to seeing the Lotus run again. It hasn't been around much lately.
