Unfortunately I do not have any Dyno info. The day I was going to take it to have it done, I opted to spend the time taking off bonnet and trunk lids and replacing them with saran wrap. Cut 200 pounds off the car...again, gained 3 HP.

Next up...taking off the steering wheel and going to replace it with vice grips. Should have better one finger turning with those. Purely comfort - not trying to gain any HP...

Just out of curiosity, what torque spec will you set the vise grips on ?
