Re: 1970 RAIV GTO, M21, 4.33, "Best Concours Restored"
 

Scored 997/1000 at MCACN. Deducted for a repop rearview mirror. I'll fix that.

Thanks,

Scott

Scott,

I saw your car at MCACN. Absolutely beautiful. Supercar Creations does fantastic work. Love the color too.

BTW Thank you for your service. GLWS.

BTW Scott - what are the dyno numbers (increased CR) on this beast? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: 1970 RAIV GTO, M21, 4.33, "Best Concours Restored"
 

Thanks for all the compliments fellas.

Sam - it hasn't been run on a dyno, just had the combo run through some of the better software. It's a bit shy of 500 hp; certainly much better than the factory rating of 370 hp.

Thanks,

Scott

The factory rating was never 370HP. Ive dynoed 2 ram iv engines i had built both pretty much stock and they came in around 440 hp. They only said that in publications because of the horsepower to weight ratio. 3700lb car

I think we all realize that factory ratings were often inaccurate, but if the factory said in publications/stated that the RAIV had 370 hp, that's the &quot;factory rating.&quot; At least that's what I understand it to be, and I think that's the common understanding.

Surprising that the RAIV is only rated at 4 hp more than the RAIII, which came in at 366 hp.

We may never know why they said it was only 4 more hp but I can definitely tell you the difference is staggering. A ram iv will run circles around a III car and I stand by the horsepower difference.
The difference is about the same as driving a LS5 and a LS6

Re: 1970 RAIV GTO, M21, 4.33, "Best Concours Restored"
 

Car is still available.

Thanks,

Scott
