Gus,

Sounds like this new engine is great. We keep hearing about all this 
extra power you've got, form both you and Bill and your seat of the pants 
test drives. How about putting that thing on a chassis dyno and giving us 
some real numbers. Bob Brandy's put some cars on a dyno last year in Chicago 
and he's got all kinds of factual info, both HP and Torque curves, on 
various Delorean engine setups.

We're glad to hear all of this " it feels real good" stuff, but we want 
actual hard facts. Let's run your car and get Bill to run his also, so we 
can get some hard numbers and print out some dyno charts..........>


DMC has the charts and figures for the engine on a stand, and I believe they 
have completed the rolling dyno tests by now and will probably publish those 
shortly. As I recall, the peak HP with the standard exhaust was 172 and 197 
with the headers. I don't remember the torque figures except that both 
curves seeemed to be exceptionally flat over a wide RPM band. Stephen has 
asked me to let him run my car on the dyno deal, and I will see if we can 
still do that when I get back to Houston. I'm in Costa Rica at the moment.

Stay tuned...

Bill Swilley
