what kind of horsepower am i making

I dont have a dyno but Im guessing 200hp. Just rebuilt s5 na with new seals and all. A street port hks intake and racing beat exhaust. 5th and 6th ports working great. A strong power band from 5g-8g. What do you guys think

I think 145-155 is extremely low, considering I made 150rwhp with a street port and stock exhaust: https://www.rx7club.com/time-slips-dyno-128/my-1989-na-dyno-quarter-mile-info-702674/

Is the stock 160 at the flywheel then. Then 150-160 is about right

It feels like 200 though but the car being so small 100hp would seem fast.

Speed = hp - weight
Either increase your HP or reduce weight for speed.
1300 kgms will feel different than a pickup with the same power

lease it as is then. You don't need *****-to-the-wall hp to enjoy the 7. The NA is plenty fun, just be careful with the verts. We recently had a forum member roll one with the top down. His survival instincts are pretty damn good too, I do n't know how he did it.
