     Dave asks:
     2. what is the "b" in bhp?
     
     It stands for "brake" since a brake is used on the dyno to apply a 
     load. so BHP= Brake Horse Power, or the actual power at the output 
     shaft of the engine, where the brake is mounted.
     
     Sorry I don't know the answer to #3, but question #1's answer for my 
     '82 Spider is 115 BHP. Not sure what the '90's value is.
