...there's a rumor that, with a very peaky cam, this car, engine, & tranny turned a tick over 200hp at the wheels a few decades ago ('70s).
I'm pretty sure that a reliable, driveable 165 hp is do-able.
Lots of torgue down low (obviously) v. the stock 99T but I haven't done a side-to-side comparison.
For continuous high speed driving, I'd prefer the stock 99T for its gearing ratio. For auto-xing & rally-type driving, I'd prefer my Weber-carb'd 99 rally car (when it's running).
Is it worth it for a daily driver? Naw, too much fussing, too many adjustments.
Is it worth it for a auto-xer? Heck yeah.
Is it worth it for a rally car? I'll find out.
