haha i know this is pathetic but when i first got my car it put 37rwhp down! i was like is that allot(back in the day) and stock is 105hp, so hmmm 70%powertrain loss?? but i come to find the carb was running off 2 of the 4 barrels, so that might have helped a little but i think it would have taken it to maybe 60-75rwhp at the least, well got the nology wires on and the 48mm carb and took it back to the school like a wile after and put it on, well the teacher looked at the car and was surprised, it was funny, i had my hood open when dynoing it and my carb kinda whistles when the rpms get up there and some kid looks under the hood and says "DOES THAT HAVE A TURBO" and was totaly clueless about what he was talking about it made me laugh
