    I agree, but I forgive them because they're a pretty solid start to a great motor.

              The easy rough way to go from Kw to HP is to add 1/3 of the Kw number.

              To go from HP to Kw, Kw it's about 3/4 of HP.

                I'm math challenged so I used an online converter. It gave me a bunch of decimal places so I rounded off.

                              I'm thinking this one will be nowhere near the NG one, low, no mid 13 with a first pass in the 14's ... The NG one has it's problems also.

                                the common theme seems to be good power, shit transmissions.
