My door tag says the same thing. Hmmm, no wonder it gets 15mpg. It's funny there would be such a huge weight discrepancy when the cars are the same from the front pillars back.

Thanks for looking that up, Kyle. Maybe he was pulling ahead a bit :), there was no room to drag race side-by-side.

Was there maybe a change between 72 and 74 in the way engine ouput was measured?

I wasn't aware my B30 has a C cam grind, good to know - it does kind of wimp out in the high rpms. Too bad cracking open the 164's motor for performance enhancements is not on the menu for a while.


Thanks
