I don't know much about max power out of mine yet, as I have not pushed it hard. However, it is very smooth, while cruising, or at idle. It is also very quiet. I have to watch the tach or listen carefully as I learn the shifting points for my driving style (manual tranny). It returned nearly 22 mpg in its first 175 miles, while bringing it home. I suspect it will do better when broken-in. Not bad for a machine with the aerodynamics of a barn door.
Has anyone done a UOA on this engine? I'm looking at running Pennzoil Platinum at the first oil change, which will be at 1000 miles.
I'm up to 230 miles now. When I get to 500 or so, I'm going to light it up and see what it has. So far, I'm very happy with it.
