[QUOTE="Flying Fred, post: 6544062, member: 12115"] Good memory buddy. It was advertised 385 at the flywheel and most have reported between 330-340 RWHP stock. Of course that is with those God aweful side exhausts that nobody would want on an AI car. As soon as you remove those, you're looking at gaining another 35 HP (give or take a few). When I first embarked on the conversion in early 05, my car was roughly 380 RWHP d/t exhaust mod/chip. Using the 9.5 Wt/HP limit, that put the minimum above 3600!!! IMHO that's just too stinkin heavy for an AI car. As the rules stand you would be better off with a lighter car having an engine that maximizes torque (9:1 as I recall?).... and it should handle better / stop quicker too. [/QUOTE]
