Very cool, nice find. Would love to see how it drives. Would definitely turn the old D into a sleeper, since it was such a yawner before.

Neat.
his claim of 230% increase in hp is a little flawed. It should be 130%. impressive none the less.

You're right. Basic mathematics. 170/130 = 1.30769...

130% increase is quite accurate.

Repost, but nice car none the less.

Oh, and it is not an increase of 270%. But is it 270% of what the original motor had. Bad wording.
