06 2.4's were 171. 07's (which mine is) were rated for 174hp sorry i said 176 earlier, which was a typo

^ what ever, that's about as 'small fries' as it gets...
+/-3hp, is less differentiation than you would see on the same dyno, but different days...

So Steve - in light of the pic you posted earlier... going to call it a night early today - like say 8pm?

8pm supper??

working late??

I know I'm messing myself up by eating later than 6 (often around 7)...

I know when I'm a wreck (becasue of being tired) I go all out trying to get to bed CRAZY early...

re: dyno;

Do you know what SS/2.4L cars were putting down stock? ~ I ask becasue it's all about comparing against a baseline - if you have nothing to compare against, who's to say what you've really gained?!

I can ask my buddy, I think he had a CAI, and put down something like 146whp...

I think that's a decent starting point...

considering my past luck at selling cars I'd have priced higher - if you look you can find many in the 10K range - and those cars are not half as nice as yours...

I'm sad to see this, but wish you good luck in the sale none the less.

I agree with the above two. It's a beautiful car.

I'd put her up for more than that. Might as well start high. Otherwise someone is going to come offer you 6.5 or 7.

you always want to put it a grand or 2 higher so when they try to bring your price down you will be close to what you want
