No two dyno's work the same so I feel any results draw only a comparison to the previous reading. Norman was tested twice on different dyno's. The best reading I saw was 118bhp at 9.600rpm. A couple of years later by which time I had surrendered to the 8v water cooled onslaught, my 1992 888 Corsa offered 123bhp on the same dyno.
But what about weight and geometry? If that engine isn't a porker the 118 would be about right for getting a light chassis out of tight corners in a class of period machinery. Classic endurance is the group I am presently interested in, here in Canada our classic endurance has class provision up to 1989 so the light, nimble air-cooled TTs are still OK if more so on the tighter circuits.
Well done, sir!
