Sounds to me like I'll be installing Autolites in the near future.
<grin> I was there with Jon when the Autolite claim was made, but I
left early for the drive home to Wilmington from Charlotte so I missed
Jon's test. Jon, thanks again for organizing this event, it was a lot
of fun! I look forward to the next time. My dyno run can be viewed
at ftp.the-nest.com/incoming/Dyno_092599.jpg
As you can see my max RWHP was 213.8, with a max torque of 302.8. The
R/T is advertised 250hp at the crank. Assuming a 20% loss from the
automatic transmission, that would translate to 200 RWHP, and indeed,
the tech at the shop said he tested a stock R/T a couple of weeks ago
that ran 196. My run was around 18hp more than that. Needless to
say, I'm happy. :-) The mods I have on the engine are a 180 stat,
and the QuickD TB and intake.
