So what do you think that the original Turboforce car was making Horsepower/torque wise to run that 11.97 at 115? (Weight of the car, etc vs HP from the engine)

What do the guys want to make for power/torque for these resto builds?

How much different was the Horsepower Ken Crocie made a few years ago with his Turbo dyno project vs the HP these guys desire?
