Hi Alan,

 

Never had it Dyno'd.  However, Mathematically, it should be 210 on 94
octane.    If I run 110 octane and advance the timing, I get a very
significant bump in power.

 

You going to the Rendezvous...I guess it's a long way from Toronto.

I think we have a winner!  :)  What sort of HP/torque does your motor put
out?

I have a fully modified 2.9ltr engine bored out to 3.2ltr 10.4:1
compression, triple webers and a 290 degree cam.....I'm averaging 10 mpg
with a lead foot.   I'm taking it to Rendezvous this year (400 miles) and
I'm curious to see what I average.
