My friend has a 86 SVO with a new turbo,headers,wastegate,Mobil 1 oil,and a few new filters.It pulled 151rwhp and 195rwtq! It smokes a little but runs good. Are these good numbers?

Not particularly...a good running stocker will do 180-200 horse and 200+ torque. I've seen a stone stocker with a Spearco do 225.

If it's a typical SVO, put some decent gas in it (100 unleaded 50/50 with premium) and see what it does...bet it does better.

That does sound low..

I just got my 85.5 Saturday and am having the exhaust redone (it has a crack before the mufflers.) It is bone stock and has 39k on it. I am going to dyno it right after the exhaust gets put on. It will have a 3" down pipe installed too, but be nothing but stock. I will post the numbers as soon as I have them.

I will do 3 runs.

1 stock
1 with cat out and straight pipe in (flanges on the cat)
1 with knock sensor disconnected and straight pipe in.

I plan on racing this car and need to know if air/fuel is OK with sensor disconnected.

I expect 200 on the ground.... with straight pipe and knock sensor unplugged.

As stated, that's WAY low for the mods. Stockers lay down 175-190hp and 205-245tq It should be laying down at minimum 250hp and 300+ tq. The only way the above HP #'s look "right" is if he was running ~10psi.
