So, who has the dyno? What 1/4 mile track? Do you wan't to wait till 
Early spring, After you get it fixed? Thanks, We might get a ICE driving school
out of this storm.

Hey Jeff, no, the 'ol 80tq won't be at T-hill, I'll be there in my daily 
driver '90 Coupe Quattro, I probably won't have the 20v motor for the 80 back 
untill Feb or March, hoping to have it up and running by the early spring.

I think it would be good to have your car on the dyno just to see what she's 
doing, and also a good 1/4 mile run would be good to size it all up. For 
reference, my best mesured dyno was 292 HP at the wheels, and a 13.2 @103mph for 
the 1/4 mile.

If your V8 is infact putting out 20 more HP than the stock 240, that would 
put you right around 200 HP at the wheels depending on your correction figures 
and the dyno you run on.

Since I won't have my car running, I'd like to offer up a similar example - I 
just finished helping put together a pretty slick Coupe Quattro for Christian 
Miller, we should have the car tuned and the engine broken in by T-hill. 
This car should easily be putting down 300 HP at the wheels with the 2.5l 10v 
turbo with 034efi. 034 header and a GT30 turbo, maybe you guys can head out and 
see whose got more grunt - after all those automatic 2.7tt's just aren't the 
fastest things around ;) If you can pull Christian with 150 more crank HP I'll 
be damn impressed.

Again, great job on the project, looking forward to hanging out and freezing 
my nuggies off at T-hill =)

Javad is right, I did spend 10 months on the build, But it was after work, 
and on some 
weekends, lots to think about! I was going to use a 3B at first, but was 
talked into this,
(Did not take much). I am verry pleased with the out come! The car is fast, 
I've run it on the track and the torq/HP from a N/A motor is much more to my 
tast.

I've run it aginst 20vt and 2.7tt and it is much faster (Out of the hole, and 
60 to 130)
I'm not sure of the 1/4 mile time, but when I find out I'll let it be know.
The best part is that the motor is "Stock" and runs, I'm sure I could get 
more power out of it, but why? What the car needs is track tires. I hope Javad 
has his car runing for T. Hill. I would like to know how fast it is.

Please ask any questions, I'll help out as much as I can.
