Stefan, you are correct. My dyno is for my own R&D, not for advertising. I was not going to post any dyno #'s. The reason is that you can make the dyno say whatever you want.

I can make a more powerful engine, but then fuel mileage, and ease of tuning goes down hill quickly. This is a good compromise between increased power, and good reliability.

The #'s may be hard to read so they are as follows

Stock Alpha
HP= 2.30
Torque = 74.33 Oz in

Modified Alpha
HP = 2.44
Torque = 81.38 Oz in
