Baseline Dyno Run

Last Saturday we took Nina to MC Racing to get baseline readings to know what I have been working with this season. Also I figure that anyone who might be interested in buying the motor after it is removed might feel better if they had the information. By the way if anyone is going to need a 2.5 that runs well let me know. Then I can buy more parts for the 2.2. If you've seen a dyno pull on tv then you've really been there, done that. Except when it is your car. It gets more interesting then, even a little exciting. So on the final run Nina pulled 128.46 hp at the wheels. Online sources indicate that the car had roughly 150bhp originally. Using a standard 15% correction for drivetrain loss brings us up to 151.13bhp. Pretty much right where it should be. Truthfully I didn't expect that at all. I mean that is pretty sweet that a 22 year old motor is still making full power. Below is a scan of the dyno sheet.
