Fully agree with FBII, two years ago at a Rotary Dyno Day stock Gen 1s were getting rwhp in the 70s, the worst 68. I had every possible performance bolt-on from air intake to muffler, plus numerous deletions and a full tune by a rotary racing firm: my best was only 124rwhp.

I have a bizillion hp...no not really I have none at the moment but I figure once I get the 12at with massive bridge, and performance headers and exhaust, with lightened flywheel and racing clutch, intercooler, lightened drive shaft, and some others I figure I'll be pushing over 220 probably, just a guess

My car is completely stock and never dynoed so I have no idea. (Stock rwhp) - (25 years of power loss) = (current horsepower)

Speaking of which, does anyone have the specs for original stock rwhp? I assume the 102 or whatever was flywheel horsepower. Just curious.

I'm going to be conservative and say 200hp at the flywheel for my setup, a streetported S4 13B 6 port that supposedly made 150rwhp on stock FI and custom 3" exhaust. The engine is now carbureted with a 600cfm edelbrock and jay-tech intake manifold along with a holley fuel pump. Assuming about a 20% drivetrain loss, my estimated 200fwhp is about 170rwhp. I'm hoping for more, but I'm not holding my breath as the port job seems kinda mild just from feeling around in the ports with the intake mani off, but it seems like a good port job nontheless.

Hopefully somewhere around 150 rwhp. Full exhaust, some emissions removal, and a little bit of weight reduction.

Sorry, it's early...didn't notice it was the first gen section.

I had an 85 GSL...miss her dearly =[
