No pics but here's the low down:
Today was the first day of Import Alliance 2008 at Nashville Super Speedway. Carma Performance was out there with their Dyno Dynamics mobile dyno. I thought "what the hell, I brought money to spend". When I went, not many people and no line. When I my car got on, suddenly there were a few cars in line and a TON of people around it. They prepped my car, asked some questions,gave me forms to sign and got to it.
The car:
1996 Honda Civic CX Hatchback
The Motor:
B16A2 from a 99 EM1 Civic Si
10X,XXX miles on the 9 year old motor
STOCK Internals
AEM Short Ram intake with a filter that's never been cleaned (about a year and a half on the car)
Exedy Stage 1 Racing Clutch
Clutch Masters Light weight flywheel (7lbs I believe)
STOCK Exhaust Manifold
Custom Muffler shop catback
A'PEXi World Sport II Muffler
Now, I was hoping to break 130 at least. I guessed 135WHP TOPS.

Run 1: 144WHP
No friggin way. AWESOME. I broke 140WHP........
Run 2: 148WHP
DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At that point, everyone started asking me what all mods I had, and I heard a lot of people say "woah" when they saw the 148. Apparently neither I nor anyone else expected it to do that well for what it is.
I've always heard 1 year = minus 1 HP at the crank. So that would have put it stock at 151HP at the crank. Add a coupla HP for the intake and exhaust. Then the power lost getting to the wheels, accounting for the flywheel, I just didn't expect near that much. I'm supposed to get an email with the dyno chart sometime (SUPPOSED TO, no guarantee they could read my hand writing).
