<x-charset iso-8859-1>Something just doesnt seem right though... if Im only getting 54HP out of
the crank, and then losing some in the drivetrain, Id never get a fully
loaded car, with a 600lb boat up the hills in the Adirondacks... I may have
noodled with my injection a bit to squeeze out a little more but I know its
not THAT much.
    Ive driven a 40 horse beetle... a much lighter car, unloaded, and it had
a hard time getting out of its own way.
