Not too shabby for a stock 3.9.

Rolling road set up today at AB Garage, Deeside. 154bhp at the wheels. Starts easier, runs better, little bit cooler too. Not sure about any improvements in economy, just need a bigger fuel tank.:)

Not short of torque either! Gentle right foot on wet roads I guess.

That's a funny scale. The hp looks about right and fit and healthy,  but the torque scale reads up to 400lb ft unless I misread it. Surely it should be nearer to 250ish for a fit v8. Don't suppose it bothers you as it obviously goes well enough :)

Mind you 298 ftlb would be very healthy, too!

I know, but that doesn’t mean it is! I’ve had a few where the scale says AFR and the plot is actually torque, so nothing would surprise me!

True, if you believe the rpm scale it was only at 2rpm....:d
