Our 1985 MR2 Project took its first trip to Daytona Street and Performance on Friday for a baseline dyno run. Despite a stock intake and exhaust and an engine with who knows how many miles on it, the MR2 managed a better-than-we-expected 97 hp and 91 ft./lbs. of torque.

damn....
I was about to offer the build a fully ported 4AG head for a bit of mag space....
