I'm still in the tuning process,but the new combo pulls almost 13 inches at 1000rpm.I do have the idle turned up at the present time for initial breakin.It feels strong down the highway very easy to speed,it falls into a nice purr at 65 to 70 mph with very little throttle opening.I'm currently running a mix of 87/91 octane and zero hint of pinging.
Once it has a few more miles on it I will do a cranking compression test..the old engine was 170..it won't surprise me if this one is 190 to 195.
