Hey James,
Question is how much rear wheel horsepower it'll put out.
The stock/flywheel rating comment is just to give you the baseline from where the motor started from. I'd suspect the untouched stock JH motor would struggle to put down 110 rear wheel hp from the stock 140 flywheel hp. So, the folks that voted that she'd make 160+ rwhp are counting on a big increase!
Nonetheless, it is possible to see some large gains. Jeff's TR8 was stock rated at 135 flywheel hp, and we now have that car putting down over 160 rear wheel hp, a big difference. If the JH were to see similar gains it'd see 165 rear wheel hp, but the JH motor is considerably more advanced than the TR8 motor in design, although it is rather ironic they both breathe through the exact same Stromberg carbs. Keeps our racing parts and spares to a minimum.
