The XROC was doing a shoot out at TOTD today so I popped along the the RS. Think its going to be in Performance Ford so will see if the old beast gets in
RS is down on power from 165bhp to 147.9bhp and 130 lbs/ft of torque but this is my fault as I retarded the the dissy to make it more useable around town, even the operator asked if I had retarded it as he last set it up.
Engine also a bit smokey as it needs a full rebuild and also notice I need a new cambelt as mine has a nick out of it in one place.

Then I snapped my oil dip stick so now need a new one.....any body got a spare dip stick?

Torque of the Devil have a pucker Dyno-Dynamics rolling road so 147bhp is probably 165bhp on the old 3rd world dynos !!!!!!

when it made 165 it was on TOTD rollers, i might play with the timing and see if i can get a bit more back under the right foot

aaaah i see , are you still getting full throttle ? Check that first mate as the cable can crush into the bulkhead and reduce travel . .
