[Healeys] Horsepower and Torque numbers - update

[Chris Dimmock]

Awesome Derek! Its amazing the huge increase you get from compression, a 300
degree cam and webers.
Bet you notice the difference all the extra torque when you put your foot down
in any gear ;-)
What size chokes are you running in your webers? 36 or 38?
Best
