Some good quotes.

I am at 90hp, but its a 3 main boxer. I spent my time hindering it more than anything. subaru did one heck of a job keeping it tiny, and dangerously so. I had to go about a healthier way. the tighter that carb gets the closer to 136 foot pounds it is. That is the way it is...scream a whistle or bellow like an old holley..actions either modes.
I have let it out, and it is fun. Keyword: fun. time to put the boxer back in a cage and grow up a little. I hardly pass anything, its gearing is now outrageous, 3500==88mph. Torque is the answer, it starts with the least friction. If you are obsessed with power to weight, it is the engine you are obsessed with.
