John Dolan - Wirral & North Wales AO Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 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. 1 Quote
Alan Cutler (Adge) - Dorset AO Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Not short of torque either! Gentle right foot on wet roads I guess. 1 Quote
6carjon Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 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 Quote
