I hope so... I won't know until I get it in the car, dyno numbers aren't real world in my opinion, but it's a good baseline. Hopefully the engine will be on the dyno in the next month. The car is suppose to be ready to race by end of August. This thing should have been done last year, but life and lack of work got into the way.
