Hi Cyrille,
I wouldn't get too worked up over the absolute number as it is certainly
relative. It was a lot lower for me than I expected as well. I don't know
how accurate it is, but it main value is in comparison. Is it higher now
than before I put on the whatever, or did it go up with the timing changed
to xyz degrees?
As for the weight of the car, I used a scale at the local rock yard. Again,
accuracy is not guaranteed. I'm anxious to re-run the numbers now that I've
made some timing changes and swapped out the oily clutch.
Does anyone have a clever way to get an accurate weight of a loaded
spridget?
