Re: Martin's Callaway GTV6 - was Re: Superchargers, EFI, & Twin Sparks

[George Graves <gmgraves@domain.elided>]

There is more info on Martin DeCampo's Callaway at

http://www.gtv6.org

He had the car at the Concorso Italiano at Quail Lodge, Carmel CA, this 
last Friday. When he was interviewed about it on thne grandstand, he 
said that he had just had the motor on the dynomometer. 345 horsepower. 
That's 105 more than the 'stock' Callaway GTV-6, and more than twice the 
stock Alfa GTV-6! I have heard from various people who know Martin 
better than I do, that he has had a lot of problems with the car since 
the restoration. What Kinds of problems these might be, I don't know. 
But pulling almost 350 HP out of that 2.5 liter engine would just HAVE 
to impact reliability, I would think. Of course, his problems could be 
totally unrelated to that. I simply have no way of knowing.
