47 to 52HP
yOU can get a bigger reading if you pump your tyres upto about 40psi
and dont get your motor to hot before you get on the dyno.
and if its a hot day dont go. wait until its back in the low 20 deg temp like early morning.
and they tell me run it in 3rd gear on that shotout mode on dyno.What ever that means.
ps I hope all this B s HELPS YOU

you can also run a thinner motor oil like 5/30
and premium unleaded petrol.
and two bags of ice sitting on top of your carbies.

Na that don't work Joel's already tried it
you could also back off the rear brake shoes so that they are not rubbing on the drum causing drag.

my first n/a engine was a 2165cc speedway engine which i reworked to a 2332cc with 48ida"s and numerous other modes. i brought the engine for 2k and
then 9k was for the machine work done by dangerous while he worked for crankshaft engineering. Since this was done the engine has been pulled apart
and reworked to a turbo efi set which blew the cost out to around 30k with all things that go along with this amount of modes and now the engine will
come out of my fastback and go into my tube chassis drag car were more modes and boost increase will take place. No one said going fast was cheap!!

Having said that, you dont always need to spend 5 figure sums on a FAST engine, and I dont build hand grenades (altho that can be arranged). It depends on what you have to rebuild, the last two stroker motors
I've built have both been under 8k, and we're talking well setup, blueprinted and balanced, headwork etc, producing over 100rwhp.

Matt do you have a rough estimate of how much 150hp atw 2332 would cost?
Is that definitely over 10k?

Definately NO. Carbys and 150 rwhp can be under 10k.
