Darin, most of the SM development has been on the 1.6s. Reliable wheel power on that car has been rumored to be from 95 on a crate engine to somewhere in the 105+ range on a Sunbelt engine. The 1.8s came with 10 more ponies stock and more torque, so your power-to-weight is close.
I know with Andy on the ITAC they know the numbers....and I know it's all dependent on the dyno you want to talk about.....but I can say that a 1.6 can (will) turn out about 111 RWHP with a fresh crate motor, 114.6 HP with a "broken in" (2 season old) crate motor with a freshened head, and close to 118 from a Sunbelt.
