Would someone be able to give me their best guestimate as to how much hp my a15 will make when shes done?
Heres a list of the mods-
A15 bored 40thou and decked
new pistons, rings, bearings and competition springs
wade 140 profile cam, 40-70
Shaved head with compression around 10.5 to 1 also has moderate porting
Twin 40mm dellortos
extractors
stock dizzy at the moment
balanced crank and lightened flywheel

So what do you guys guess this setup should spit out? I am hoping for around 120hp
cheers

With that set up with a good balance
You should get about 100 to 110 engine hp
Cheers

anyone else have some thoughts?

so you dont think that it will make 120hp?

i got mine dyno'd 2 day, A15, extractors, 30/70 cam/ exhaust, twin 45 webers, few lil other things, and i made just under 100HP. my guess would be between 100-110

Tommy is that calculated at the engine or dyno proven at the wheels?

dyno proven, got the print out, i only got the carbs put on an tuned 2 day

Hey kale,
sorry to rain on your parade but 100 (ish) rwhp is all you can hope for. All your mods are great but not really enough CR for big horsepower. The 40mm carbs will limit the result also. Tommy shows that 100 rwhp is a very good figure - I only had 90 in my coupe and it was reasonably quick. Take heart .... do the power to weight calcs for your car and a production XR8 or HSV. You will be suprised how well 100 rwhp can move 700 kg of car
Cheers

by the way tommy are you happy with your new carbs?

thanks guys for the feedback. I am suprised as i only wanted 120hp at the flywheel and it will be really good if i could get around 100hp at the wheels which you guys suggest is possible. Indeed if i had 100hp at the wheels in the little ute it should go pretty hard. Cant wait until its all in and running!
