Must be some good engines and some not so good engines I suppose. |
Not all dynos are equal. Not all are calibrated. Not all are calibrated or maintained to the same std and some tuners add "the bling factor" to the readings to gain business. I have personal experience of this myself.
As 600 Pantah racing engines in the early 80's were delivering 80+bhp then I suppose it's not beyond the means of some to attain more than 70 now...whether those means are legal or not is open to question.
If people are getting 65-68 now then they are in minitwin territory (most sv's are in the 65-69bhp bracket) which, for an old air-cooled 2 valve motor is pretty good going!
