Different emissions on these cars and engines do vary their output from one engine to the next. The 205 bhp figure is an average. I'm sure the TB polishing helps smooth out the airflow and along with the filter, 5-10 hp is not out of the question. 98 Contour / 99 ZX2 HS

That's why I even linked your original post. He asked how you got 210HP since we always talk about what we truelly have "at the wheels" You have 158.5HP & 168TQ "at the wheels" and I even made note to mention it was a different dyno than we use over here... I also added if that "drivetrain loss" was correct (comparable) I had 245BHP, instead of the ~230HP I calculated using the ~18% loss we see here... Since I make 187HP and 169TQ "at the wheels" ~~~ Roof = hood??? Not over here. Roof is over your head, hood is over your engine. Therefore hood = bonnet Back on topic: I still like my B&M and have had zero troubles with it since it was installed... 2000 SVT #674 - Check it out!

I'm a stud. What can I say... :rolleyes: :p I'm sure the mods had nothing to do with it... Actually the dyno you use probably has a bigger loss factor compared to the dynojet models most people use over here??? Because your's estimated ~210HP at the crank and mine is ~230HP which is a 20HP difference or ~17HP at the wheels and the dyno's showed nearly 30HP difference at the wheels. So obviously trying to compare the two dyno's HP readings is not going to work very well. We both made nearly indentical TQ numbers though (hard to screw up reading TQ) and the graphs themselves overall look close (except I'm still at the stock 7000 rpm - more power to be had there! ) Either way you look at it we both have great taste in cars... 2000 SVT #674 - Check it out!
