Buggy is on a distinguished road
This is all very true. To be honest though the car is making more power than that. We stopped the dyno pulls at 7000rpm because the dyno was overloading the car and it was getting hot. They hp curve was still increasing at 7000rpm and this was on a mustang load dyno. I'm sure its closer to 170whp, but I do agree it has way more and FI with a standalone would tap into that. I like the weber carb though. It keeps with the old school feel. It's a tough decision.
