One of my buddies has a wild XR. It's a Ford 2.3 bottom end with a Volvo DOHC head. He dyno'd it at a recent event at Carlisle, PA, and put down 530whp.
Problem is, the dyno driver would only take it to 6500rpm, and it's designed for 8500 RPM. And, they were smoking the Hoosers on the dyno :-). Of course now "everybody wonders" what it would have done if it would have had traction and hit redline.
Here's a dynoqueen video: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h14/mangostick/?action=view¤t=pmsmokingdynoatcarlisle.flv">http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h14/m ... rlisle.flv</a><!-- m -->
The owner/builder is the big black dude beside the car.
