    Those numbers are at the flywheel instead of the wheels?
    Regardless it's still excellent power for an M20, I'm impressed.

    I wasn't aware they could rev to 7800rpm without breaking rocker arms. 😮

      Flywheel numbers indeed. Rocker arms are no longer original ones, I should say when I saw the dyno guy pushing the car towards 7800 rpm, I was also thinking euhhm... you may stop sir...
      Despite being very happy with the outcome, the cam should peak at 7000 rpm, so we figured out there is insufficient airflow.
      Cause could be that the car is running 40mm itb's (instead of 42mm ones) from RHD, but I am also running Schrick valves with oem diameter, however valve stem towards valve head diameter is significantly smaller than oem valves, which in result should flow more. The head is also ported and polished (again no supercrazy things as the car remains a streetcar where durability for me was/is important).

          That's a happy M20.
          Would love to see a spec sheet for that!
