    shevy, don't send anything back yet. Let's go back and re-figure. I'll have to do it later, have an appointment right now (Thurs 7:30 AM now). What is the combustion chamber volume in your heads?

    Yup, that may well have been it! I entered 100 hp into the equation, bumped the compression ratio from 8.0:1 to 9.0:1 and presto! -- 104 hp.
