All the st 170s we see on the dyno actaully made around 150-155 at the flywheel as they are stated as 170 fly..
It did like 148 with the wrong carbs and later fitted throttle bodies and achieved 170 something at fly..
An engine will only make what an engine will make and because he was un happy with the power the dd gave he got some one else to do the tb conversion and spen a fortune to get only 25 hp more
