Does 113.4hp/106.5ft-lbs seem right???

This is for an STS motor which has no internal work. Actually, its the original 178K motor on my Si. I just want to know how far off "the pace" this engine is. I know its not going to live much longer with the abuse its getting but I'd like to see how competitive it'd be for now. I'm not asking for all of your secrets, but what power number are you guys seeing from these motors once built to the extent of the rules?

Danny,
My car is making 112.9hp/101 tq so I'd say you're doing VERY good. Also from observation I think I have a pretty strong motor too with 90k on mine.

Sounds good. I'm planning on beating this motor until it goes then possibly moving into SM with an ITR swap. We'll see. Funny thing is that when I first bought it, it would burn oil. At the tour in Ft. myers (my first event, 3 drivers) it went through a quart of oil. It hasn't burned a drop in the last few weekends. It seems like the abuse has cleaned up whatever gunk was in the motor and possibly freed up some seized rings?!?

Anyone else???
