The DMC Houston Hi-Po engine gives about a 70 HP increase over stock.....at $80 per HP that equals $5600, which is real close to the actual cost to have this work performed. >> I'm concerned here that you may be trying to hold me to a guaranteed HP gain when you go to EFI. I know it's commonly accepted knowledge from those who know K, L and J Jetronic systems that CIS (K) robs >10% of available HP. I've yet to get my daily driver on a dyno and I've never driven a CIS DMC-12 so like I said before, I can't give you my impressions on performance gains under these circumstances. But if you only got 10% you'd be at 143, and 15% which is probably closer to the truth would put you at 149.5 HP. This is new territory and we'll all be learning together. Sound fair? Jim
