Re: [debate][140hp JH?]

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <josiah@gsinet.net>]

I remember there being somebody on this list who has tons of horsepower out of
two cars... a 1.8L 8v and a 2.0L 16v. I think he claimed 200bhp from the 2.0L
16v. And I think he said 140bhp from the 1.8L 8v. Whoever this is, want to
chime in?
