I can't seem to find it anymore, but what was the HP/TQ rating of the DMCH Stage II? And now that it's been out for several years, does anyone have any performance stats for a D equipped with it? Like 0-60, 1/4 mile, and other numbers usually appearing in a road and track article?

Stage 2 is 197hp with 192pds of tourqe. 0-60 is around 7 seconds for the manual and 8 seconds for the auto (my estimate). I rode in several Stage 2 Deloreans at DCS. Very peppy throaty sounding motor!

I found a youtube video of the 2003 Open House event showing the drag strip.

In the description, he mentions that the one with the green checkered flag stickers is a stage II, but the video cuts off before the times are displayed...

The 197hp is really 197bhp, which can be misleading. A friend of mine had a stage II and it dyno'd in at about 130hp at the wheels. I believe a stock D will dyno around 100hp at the wheels.

Stage 2 is ~130 at the wheels. Spec 2 from DPI is ~145 at the wheels. Enough said.

Wow, I had no idea there was that much loss.

My auto used to run 99hp in tip top (stock) shape with the UK stainless exhaust installed.

Any guesses on the actual wheel improvement of DMCCA's cams?

In a member's signature, I believe it said 145hp for the DMCCA cams... Can't remember who it is at the moment. Has anyone with these modified engines ever tried doing a few performance-based tests like how a magazine would just for kicks? I know that DPI's Spec II is the most aggressive cam available (at least to my knowledge), so have any similar tests been done with this package?

Sorry for all the questions, but it seems like the same ones always come up and I can't remember ever seeing a definitive answer.
