140HP at wheels sound about right?
My dad bought this G-Tech pro and it can read HP/Torque/0-60/ 1/4mi and G-force...
http://www.gtechpro.com/ss.html
So I tested it on the 300TE naturally
I know it is noted 168hp @ flywheel right?
0-60 : 8.3sec
Torque: 160ft/lbs
HP: 140hp
That sound about right? I probably don't have it too accurate for HP and Torque because I guesstimated the weight. I found curb weight for the wagon is 3860lbs, so I set it at 4100lbs on the device...but for accuracy I should really go to a public scale.
I'm gonna order a Serial cable so I can upload the data to the computer soon.

Conservative guess is 20% loss of HP/Torque through the drivetrain.
That would put you at about 134.4 HP.
I'd say you came out pretty decent for a 21 year old car :P

Wagon still feels slow at the bottom end with the bad EHA I have on it...
The only non-stock stuff I have is a high flow Magnaflow cat. I bet my 260E would kill my wagon though. Its a shame my cig lighter isn't functional or I'd have taken the 260E

I'd be really interested in seeing what the m104 300ce does (I've read 8.5s 0-60 for the m103 and 7.7s 0-60 for the m104).
Perf mods are a dream for me right now, maybe after I finish my Masters and make bank.

Your M103-12V is rated 177HP and 188LBFT torque.
On a Mustang load dyno my M103-12V pulled 135 RWP and 145 torque.
Add about 15%-17% if the pulls were made on an inertia dyno
