Hey steve, those are respectable numbers, and I know it's very easy to get that 4.0L to get up and dance. Did you run the 18's on the dyno run, or something smaller? I know on these cars, rim and tire choice has a lot of bearing on your Dyno results. I think I am going to have to baseline my car now, seeing as you did yours. I think for the GT's, the norm is about 265-275hp, and about 280-285+ ft lbs bone stock.

To me, a big V6 or small V8 that's able to rev, is a great engine choice. They make Torque from about 2000rpm until about 5000, and the HP is usually up around 4000-4500ish. I know that my car's sweet spots are 2500 and 4500...get the torque surge down low, and the hp surge at 4500, in the first 4 gears (at like 3000rpm in 5th I'm doing over 160km's/hr).
