144 wheel hp
143 wheel torque
NA powerz foolz. Actually it put down about 25 more hp than I thought it would, and about 40 more torque, stock exhaust manifold and bi-pipe (which apparently gets restrictive around 5500), and a wierd flutter in the torque curve between 3 and 45k. the head's ported and gasket matched to the intake, but since it wasnt meant for NA use (compression lowered from stock to 8.5ish-9.0) so i didnt bother messing with the hot side of the engine (and the ports on the exhaust side are enlarged quite a bit).
Now i've got some good baseline NA numbers and a timing map thats finito, turbo goes on in a couple days. (might rag it out at the track NA just to see what it does, might not and forgoe the torture for a week)
