Hey all.
I have learned conclusively that our rated hp numbers are at the crank and therefore I have added one helluva lot of power to my spg.
It's a 1988 black SPG that acc'd to Saab has 165, but after my mods, with the help of my GTech Performance Meter Pro, I estimate (as I don't the know the exact amount of loss) my total crank HP to be about 210-215! Clearly numbers in and of themselves are meaningless, but it's nice to know that all of the work I (well Viking Auto, but it WAS MY money!) has done to my car has made a dramatic difference. Further, I do realize that a peak power number is as meaningless as the max power on a stereo, while RMS is the key. But nonetheless for braggin' rights, I'm pretty darn pleased with a number over 200, fleeting or not.
Anyway, thanks to Mike H (WASSAAB) and his brother Eric @ Viking (Jay too), as well as all of you who have helped me turn my SPG into a kick in the pants to drive. A paint job and a NSX parked next to it and I'll be a content car guy. In the meantime, I've got to figure out how to stabilize my peaky 18lbs of boost....................
Always something to work on.
BTW, the pushbutton starter (thanks Nathan W) is soooo cool (in a completely useless, why the hell would you do that way). Glad I have it.
You guys are great.
and if you ever need a corporate or intellectual property lawyer, you just let me know.
