Andrew's got all that! He's not just dicking around, he's looking for the
last couple HP and amazingly, he's doing it on a budget!  His engine
produced 123 Wheel HP and 125 Wheel torque on a Mustang dyno which
notoriously produces lower readings than a Dynojet. These are the best
numbers I've seen for a street driven 2.0 L 8V. ( I sold him the head and
ported the intake and exhaust manifolds!!!)

Well, you've got that right, but until I've got this Haltech tuned worth a
shit Andrew's still kicking my ass!
