Message	So...I go to my first Z Nationals and see all these Z's get on the dyno....and I have a '91 NA 2+2...supposed to come w/ 222hp off the lot way back in 1991....well I see these NA's get on the dyno that have a lot better looking engine than mine and with more work done...and most didn't even come within 40 hp of their stock/original hp. Makes me scared to even put mine on the dyno!!.. How is it SO much horsepower is lost over the years!?...and even though I have a few mods, what could someone do if they wanted to keep their engine completely stock and get back to the original horsepower? Is it possible?
