CONTEST : Guess the HP and WIN!

I think you'll be back to square one on tuning once you get the engine in the car
Once the baseline is set it should only be "tweaks" since the engine will want the same basic timing curve etc. I do agree the total timing and some carb tweaks could optimize performance depending on weather/altitude conditions. The majority of guys I see at the track don't even bother, they just run it.
