Its definitely not a total shot in the dark. Here is what I have.
A while back I made this dyno chart with a g-tech pro. From this chart I know I have ~17 hp at WOT at 1500 rpm.
Now, using the hand dandy ecomodder
aero & rolling resistance calculator, I know that I need about 7 horsepower to keep me going on a flat road at 45 mph.
Tercel aero & RR calculator
So, theoretically, I should have about 10 hp left over. Sounds like enough to me. Originally, at 2100 rpm I'd have had 26 horsepower available.
